What is Project Management?
DEFINITION
It consists of the use of knowledge,
skills, tools and techniques aimed at
achieving the success of the proposed
objectives of a specific project.
A project is a piece of work which is not a
process or an operation. It has a start, an
end, and goals.
 What is Project Management?

project that requires management.
