What Is Project Management?


Project management is the process of leading the work of a team to achieve goals and meet success criteria at a specified time. The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals within the given constraints. Wikipedia

Project Management Skills
  • Planning the project from conception to implementation.
  • Mapping out a timeline.
  • Executing each phase.
  • Creating, allocating, and managing the budget.
  • Communicating among all stakeholders.
  • Troubleshooting any issues.
  • Delivering (and often maintaining) the end product or service.
And...  while Project Management seems like it is just for business, industry, military, and/or government, it can quite successfully be used by individuals and oftentimes is used without knowing what is being used, like:
  • Planning Out and Implementing a Holiday Celebration
  • Planning Out and Implementing a Vacation
  • Buying a Car or a House
  • Planning one's Retirement
  • Developing a Startup Plan for a Small Business

In short, Project Management Skills can be used for damn near, if not, everything up to and including planning for one's funeral.
