organizing and monitoring project progress
Reasons:

It helps in budgeting and resource allocation

Traditional Project Management
Also known as the waterfall approach, traditional project management follows each of the five
stages in order. Traditional project managers put a lot of time into initiating and planning to
account for every possible scenario. Any delay or error could throw the rest of the project off.
Traditional project management is a good choice for situations with a lot of "red tape." A great
example is construction—typically, project managers must obtain permits and clearances before
building. The project itself must also follow a specific order. You can't put a roof on a house
before building the walls!
While traditional project management has many benefits, its linear structure can mean that any
mistake comes with a large impact on budget and timeline. If an error is made in the first week of
project execution but not discovered until the end, it may be necessary to redo a large portion of
the work.
