Project Management

Project management is the process of achieving a project’s goals in a defined amount of time. 

Using project management to organize and implement a project has many benefits including:

  • Expectations are clearly defined for everyone involved​
  • All participants will know​ their role​, who to communicate with​, what they should do by when​, and the progress of the project​
  • Increased collaboration​
  • Improved communication and transparency​
  • Increased efficiency and productivity​
  • Reduced stress and uncertainty while managing risks
