Welcome to an unusual way of looking at the world called project management.
Project management is all about success. Successful projects deliver
value on time and under budget. Value is anything that benefits the company—
or the person—that receives it. The problem is that many projects do
not succeed. Some fail altogether, costing time and money and delivering,
well, absolutely nothing. Others come in very late or way over budget. Others
solve the wrong problem, delivering a lot less value than expected.
Project management is the application of all the tools, techniques, and
methods people have come up with to try to deliver success on unique,
one-time efforts. These skills include managing time, money, and teams of
people to deliver successful results, and a whole lot more.
