A Project is set of interrelated tasks to be
executed over a fixed period and within
certain cost and other limitations.

4. PROJECT MANAGEMENT
• Project management is no small task.
• Project management has a definite beginning and end. It is
not a continuous process.
• Project management uses various tools to measure
accomplishments and track project tasks. (Gantt charts and
PERT charts)
• Projects frequently need resources
• Project management reduces risk and increases the chance
of success.
Project management is about creating an environment and
conditions in which a defined goal or objective can be
achieved in a controlled manner by a team of people.

8. PROJECT MANAGER
A project manager is a person who plans and
organize available resources necessary to
complete a project.

9. Tasks of a Project Manager
• Define the project, reduce it to a set of manageable
tasks, obtain appropriate resources and build a team to
perform the work.
• Set the final goal for the project and motivate his/her
team to complete the project on time.
• Inform all stakeholders of progress on a regular basis.
• Assess and monitor risks to the project and mitigate
them.
No project ever goes exactly as planned, so project
managers must learn to adapt to and manage change.

10. Project Document
Project document is a self-contained
document that details your team’s unique
steps in initiating, planning, executing and
closing projects.
The key is “duplication.” One can duplicate the
project by merely reading and following the
steps written in the project document.
