Project Management Overview

Abstract

In this chapter readers will learn what a project is and what sets it apart from operations. Because projects are a unique way of doing something that has never been done before, they introduce risk and change into the work environment. Readers will also become familiar with project management and its history. The triple constraints of project management—cost, time, and scope—are defined. Project management methodology, project phases, and knowledge areas are discussed. The benefits of project management complete the chapter.
