Why Project Management

PMI 2012: The world is spending 1/5 of its GDP (US $12 trillion) on projects this year - and organizations that range from global businesses to governments and NGOs have identified project management and skilled project managers as the key to their success.

PMI: The demand for project professionals is staggering, with an average of 1.2 million projected new jobs needing to be filled each year for the next decade. This demand far exceeds supply - and if not corrected will put U.S. $4.5 trillion of the global GDP at risk by 2016.

Work Break-down Structure

WBS is a planning tool used to decompose project

work (scope) into discrete work tasks.

It captures both the deliverables and the work

deliverables.

WBS provides a foundation for cost estimation,

scheduling, resource planning and risk mgmt.
