 Project Management (PM)

• Project Management (PM): is the applications of

knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project
activities to meet project requirements and
organizing and managing resources so the project
is completed within defined scope, quality, time,
and cost constraints (execute effectively and
efficiently).
 Planning, execution and controlling of a project is the
primary field of project management to achieve specific
goals and meet specific success criteria.

 Project Management (PM)
• The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast with
business as usual (or operations), which are repetitive,
permanent, or semi-permanent functional activities to
produce products or services.
• In practice, the management of these two systems is often
quite different, and as such requires the development of
distinct technical skills and management strategies.
• The primary challenge of project management is to achieve
all of the project goals within the given constraints.

 Importance of PM
• Project Management is important to achieve
higher level of performance in terms of time,
cost, and quality.

 PM Triple Constraints
• Cost or resources: is the
available budget / resources
for the project (People,
materials, data, equipment..)
• Time: the amount of time
required to complete the
project (deadlines).
• The scope constraint: is what
must be done to produce the
project's end result which is
/ Resources
meeting your requirements.
The discipline of project management is about providing the tools and
techniques that enable the project team to organize their work to meet
these constraints.
