Project Managment
Introduction
According PMI (2000) “a project is a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a unique product, service or result”. The temporary nature indicates a definite beginning and end of a project.

Another definition of a project is a “temporary organization that is created for the purpose of delivering one or more business products according to an agreed Business Case.” Prince2 (2009) manual

“Project Management can be defined as the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements”. PMI (2000)
“Project management is the science (and art) of organizing the components of a project, whether the project is development of a new product, the launch of a new service, a marketing campaign, or a wedding. A project isn 't something that 's part of normal business operations. It 's typically created once, it 's temporary, and it 's specific. As one expert notes, "It has a beginning and an end." A project consumes resources (whether people, cash, materials, or time), and it has funding limits”. MPUG.com copyright 2007-2012
