Basic Concept

Project management is all about calculating

the pitfalls and creating outlets to avoid the consequences.

All the projects share a common aim – following ideas and activities to shape them into working realities.

Even if the project is well planned and carried still the

possibility of encountering dangers exists.

Importance of Project Management

The importance of project management is an important topic because all organisations, be it small or large at one time or other are involved in implementing new undertakings.

These undertakings may be diverse such as the development of a new product or service; the establishment of a new production line in a manufacturing enterprise; a public relations promotion campaign; or a major building programme.
