Project Management

Project Management has many faces, but is generally thought of as "controlling a project." Control of the design, the planning, the schedule, the workforce, and the budget are functions of Project Management. These functions use several well established methods and software in an effort to be successful.

A project has a start date and an end date between which are several or even hundreds of tasks. Project Management uses certain well established tools to track these tasks, keep them within the schedule, and ensure that the budget is being spent at an appropriate rate.

Successful Project Management requires considerable knowledge, training, and experience. Although Project Management can be taught, it requires many years to understand and successfully control the great number of tasks, financial considerations, administrative concerns, workforce needs, material requirements, and the myriad nuances of managing the design, procurement, and construction phases of a project.
