Defining Project Management

Project & Project Management

What do you think about the pictures above? What are the pictures tell you about? Well that's show about the title above. 

Project is defined as "a temporary and one-time endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service, which brings about beneficial change or added value".

Project Management then is defined as an application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements. 

Remember the definitions had already differentiate them where PROJECT is to create a unique product or service while PROJECT MANAGEMENT is the set of applications stated to project activities. 

Why do we call the applications as PROJECT MANAGEMENT? It's all about management therefore it includes "organizing and managing resources so the project is completed within defined COST, TIME, SCOPE and QUALITY". Each of these elements equip each other so that either or neither of them off we cannot call any activity as project management.

Triple Constraints 

The triple constraints are meant to the success of project management. Like I said before, these elements are equip each other therefore they are the important factors to stand any project development. One out will crush or delay the whole process.

That's all for now, next I'll tell in details about this post and the Project Management Body of Knowledge.
