What is a
Project?
What is Project
Management?
Project Management
“ A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning
and end time… it is unique in that it is not a routine
operation, but a specific set of operations designed to
accomplish a singular goal”
The application of skills, knowledge, tools and techniques to
project activities to meet the project requirements.
