NB:1.The traditional functional approach is not adequate in a project
environment and does not promote quality work on time and within
budget. The project approach promotes the innovation, experimentation,
and entrepreneurship needed in the world today.
2. Project management is a set of principles, methods, and techniques
that people use to effectively plan and control project work. It
establishes a sound basis for effective planning, scheduling, resourcing,
decision-making, controlling, and re-planning. Project management
principles and techniques help complete projects on schedule, within
budget, and in full accordance
with project specifications. At the same time, they help achieve the other
goals of the organization, such as productivity, quality, and cost
effectiveness. The objective of project management is to optimize
project cost, time, and quality.
