2. What is a Project?
 Projects are singular, but non-routine,
events with precise objectives which
must be achieved within a set
timeframe. Projects are broken into a
set of activities designed to fulfil the
stated objectives.
 Examples include the building of a house,
the holding of an event like a party or even
something as simple as completing a school
assignment.

3. Project Management
 Project Management requires the
organisation of people,
equipment and procedures in an
appropriate way to get a project
completed within a set
timeframe and budget. A Project
Manager is responsible for the
coordination of all these
resources in order to achieve the
project objectives.

4. Planning Considerations
 The following need to be
considered when planning a project
 Purpose and aim of the project
 Resources available both human and
material
 Costing, human and time constraints
 The tasks, procedures or activities
required to complete the project

5. Why Project Management?
 Project management techniques are used by
organisations because they ensure that organisational
objectives (Basic, Strategic and Operational) and
system objectives are being met in a timely, accurate,
relevant and complete manner.
 Project Management techniques provide a way of
controlling people, resources and procedures, and
clearly identify the tasks that must be completed and
the desired completion time.
