Project Management
What is Project Management and Project Excellence?
Today many companies regard projects as a means of creating competitive advantage. These companies have introduced project management as a central management strategy. Project management is being appreciated for its structured approach in:
- Defining expected output (mostly in terms of cost, quality and time).
- Writing an execution plan complete with all actions to achieve the defined goals.
- Executing this plan.
- Continuously monitoring the progress of the plan and adjusting when appropriate.
