Project management is “the discipline of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve specific goals and meet specific success criteria.”
Project management tools were prevalent in the space, government, engineering and military sectors, soon private businesses began to understand the benefits of work organized around a specific project. A clear way to manage these special projects emerged when companies realized that coordination and communication at every level, across business units and including different areas of expertise was crucial to their overall success.
The Business Dictionary defines a project as a “planned set of interrelated tasks to be executed over a fixed period and within certain costs and other limitations.” A project, then, could be something outside or in addition to the company norm for a typical business day. Perhaps a business upgrade, financial need or client request may be the catalyst for a project’s origination.
