Project Management Dr in?. Janusz Pobo?niak email: pobozniak@.pl Project management Project management: Is the discipline of planning, organizing, and managing resources to bring the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. Project vs. usual operations A project is a temporary activity, having a defined beginning and end (usually constrained by date, but can be by funding or deliverables), undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, usually to bring about beneficial change or added value. The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast to business as usual (or operations), which are repetitive, permanent or semi-permanent functional work to produce products or services. Project goals The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals and objectives while honoring project constraints. Typical constraints are scope, time, and budget. The secondary—and more ambitious—challenge is to optimize the allocation and integration of inputs necessary to meet pre-defined objectives.
