At the conceptual level, project management is the process of
thinking carefully about what you want to accomplish, laying out
all the steps, and obtaining the resources required to carry out
those steps. At the practical level, project management is your
response to the problems, delays, changes, and obstacles—and,
sometimes, opportunities—that arise during the course of a
project.

Project management is the tools, techniques, and processes for

defining, planning, organizing, controlling, and leading a project
as it completes its tasks and delivers the results.

SHORTLY – it is MANAGEMENT
PROCESS that is applied to a
PROJECT
Management process (from Old French
ménagement "the art of conducting, directing",
from Latin manu agere "to lead by the hand“) is the
process of leading and directing all or part of an
organization, through the deployment and
manipulation of resources (human, financial,
material, intellectual or intangible).

Management functionally is the action of

measuring a quantity on a regular basis and of
adjusting some initial plan, and the actions taken to
reach one's intended goal. This applies even in
situations where planning does not take place.
 Define To determine the overall vision, goals, objectives, scope,
responsibilities, and deliverables of a project. A common way to capture this
information is with a statement of work. This is a document that delineates
the above information and is signed by all interested parties.
 Plan To determine the steps needed to execute a project, assign who will
perform them, and identify their start and completion dates. Planning entails
activities such as constructing a work breakdown structure and a schedule for
start and completion of the project.
 Organize To orchestrate the resources cost-effectively so as to execute the
plan. Organizing involves activities such as forming a team, allocating
resources, calculating costs, assessing risk, preparing project documentation,
and ensuring good communications.
 Control To assess how well a project meets its goals and objectives.
Controlling involves collecting and assessing status reports, managing
changes to baselines, and responding to circumstances that can negatively
impact the project participants.
 Close To conclude a project efficiently and effectively. Closing a project
involves compiling statistics, releasing people, and preparing the lessons
learned document.
 Plan To determine the steps needed to execute a
project, assign who will perform them, and identify
their start and completion dates. Planning entails
activities such as constructing:

 work breakdown structure (WBS),

 organization breakdown structure (OBS),
 cost account structure (CAS),
 responsibility assignment matrix (RAM)
 and a schedule for start and completion of the project.
