project management

 

Project management is the process of planning, organising, and overseeing a specific task or project to ensure it gets completed successfully. It involves setting clear goals, coordinating resources, managing time, and making sure everyone involved is working towards the same objective. Essentially, it's about keeping everything on track to achieve the desired outcome. Project Management is delivered in four stages:-

  1. Initiating a project refers to the process of defining and authorising a new project or phase. This stage involves identifying project goals, stakeholders, and resources, as well as establishing a clear project charter. It sets the foundation for planning and executing the project effectively, ensuring everyone involved understands the objectives and expectations from the outset.

  2. Planning a project involves outlining the goals, tasks, resources, and timelines necessary to achieve specific objectives. It serves as a roadmap, guiding the team through each phase of the project while ensuring that all aspects are organised and aligned. Effective project planning helps identify potential challenges and enables proactive solutions, ultimately leading to successful project completion

  3. Executing a project involves implementing the project plan by coordinating resources and tasks to achieve the project's objectives. This phase focuses on executing the planned activities, managing teams, and ensuring that deliverables are produced on time and within budget. Effective communication and monitoring are crucial during this phase to address any challenges that arise and keep the project on track. Overall, successful execution leads to the realisation of project goals and stakeholder satisfaction.

  4. Closing a project is the final phase in the project management, where all activities are completed, and deliverables are finalised and handed over to the client or stakeholders. This phase involves evaluating the project's success, lessons learned, and ensuring all contracts obligations are fulfilled. Properly closing a project helps to solidify outcomes and prepares the team for future.
