3. Project And Project Management
3
A temporary organization that is created
for the purpose of delivering one or more
business products according to an
agreed upon Business Case
Project management is: The planning,
delegating, monitoring and control of all
aspects of the project and the motivation
of those involved, to achieve the project
objectives within the expected
performance targets for time, cost,
quality, scope, bene鍖ts and risks
A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken
to create a unique product, service, or result.
The temporary nature of projects indicates that
a project has a definite beginning and end
Project management, then, is the application of
knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to
project activities to meet the project
requirements.
