Project Management

A project is a series of tasks completed to achieve a major outcome. It is not the same as daily responsibilities. Daily responsibilities are ongoing. A project has a definite beginning and a definite end. Projects can range from a week to several years, and they require special management. Even older, repetitive projects must be managed in a constantly changing environment.

As more an organization becomes a network of simultaneous projects, managers are increasingly responsible for project management.

The goal of the lesson is to understand projects and project management in the organisation.
