Project Management

Project management involves planning, organizing, securing, and managing resources to achieve specific goals within constraints like scope, time and budget. A project is a temporary endeavor with a defined start and end, undertaken to create beneficial change or added value. In contrast, business operations are repetitive activities that produce ongoing products/services. Project managers are responsible for accomplishing stated objectives, creating clear requirements, and managing the triple constraint of cost, time and quality. They must determine and implement client needs while adapting to internal procedures and ensuring satisfaction. Common responsibilities include developing plans, managing stakeholders, teams, risks, schedules, budgets, and conflicts.

Project

A project in business and science is typically defined as a collaborative enterprise, frequently involving research or design, which is carefully planned to achieve a particular aim. Projects can be further defined as temporary rather than permanent social systems that are constituted by teams within or across organizations to accomplish particular tasks under time constraints.

Project Management
Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, securing, and managing resources to achieve specific goals. A project is a temporary endeavour with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables), undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change or added value. The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast with business as usual (or operations), which are repetitive permanent, or semi-permanent functional activities to produce products or services. In practice, the management of these two systems is often quite different, and as such requires the development of distinct technical skills and management strategies. The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals and objectives while honouring the preconceived constraints. Typical constraints are scope, time, and budget. The secondaryand more ambitiouschallenge is to optimize the allocation and integrate the inputs necessary to meet pre-defined objectives.

Project Manager
A project manager is a professional in the field of project management. Project managers can have the responsibility of the planning, execution, and closing of any project, typically relating to construction industry, architecture, computer networking, telecommunications or software development. Many other fields in the production, design and service industries also have project managers. A project manager is the person responsible for accomplishing the stated project objectives. Key project management responsibilities include creating clear and attainable project objectives, building the project requirements, and managing the triple constraint for projects, which are cost, time, and quality (also known as scope). A project manager is often a client representative and has to determine and implement the exact needs of the client, based on knowledge of the firm they are representing. The ability to adapt to the various internal procedures of the contracting party, and to form close links with the nominated representatives, is essential in ensuring that the key issues of cost, time, quality and above all, client satisfaction, can be realized. The term and title 'project manager' has come to be used generically to describe anyone given responsibility to complete a project. However, it is more properly used to describe a person with full responsibility and the same level of authority required completing a project. If a person does not have high levels of both responsibility and authority then they are better described as a project administrator, coordinator, facilitator or expeditor.

Responsibilities
The specific responsibilities of the Project Manager vary depending on the industry, the company size, the company maturity, and the company culture. However, there are some responsibilities that are common to all Project Managers, noting

Developing the project plan Managing the project stakeholders Managing the project team Managing the project risk Managing the project schedule Managing the project budget Managing the project conflicts
