2. PROJECT MANAGEMENT TO METHODOLOGY
Project management, this could mean anything based on which context the phrase is used in but in general most of these definition are and have a few things in common to the topic. For instance, they are knowledge, skill and in some likely cases strategically based. The objective of a project is to create a new entity be it tangible or intangible. Newman et al. defined a project as
“…simply a cluster of activities that is relatively separate and clear cut. Building a plant, designing a new package…a project typically has a distinct mission and a clear termination point.”
The use and ability of project management has grew since its inception, it is driven by the realisation that organising work into smaller manageable clusters, communicating effectively and the coordination of all the divisions in the workplace were necessary for the success of its delivery. A project is never a small task so the break down set needs to be specifically and strategic so as it lets the project-work flow smoothly.
Before the initiation of any project there needs to be clarity on this 4 areas; 1. Cost 2. Scope 3. Time required 4.
