What is project management?听
Project Management is the art and science of delivering projects by maintaining cost, scope, schedule and technical performance that satisfies stakeholder expectations while respecting internal and external constraints.
It is the application of processes, methods, skills, knowledge, and experience to achieve specific project objectives according to the project acceptance criteria within agreed parameters, where final deliverables are constrained to a finite timescale and budget.
