Project:

The word project is basically derived from the Latin word projectum which means “before an action”. When English literature adopted this word, it was declared as plan of something, not to the act of actually carrying this plan out. It is a set of organized tasks to be executed over a period of time within certain constraints and cost. A project is a comprehensive task which can be assigned to a person or a team. There are different definitions regarding the project.

A project is an individual or collaborative enterprise that is carefully planned to achieve a particular aim.

Oxford Dictionary

A project is a “temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service or result”

Project Management:

Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to plan activities to meet project requirements. Project management consists of following phases:

Initiating

Planning/ Scheduling

Executing

Controlling

Closing

In initiating phase of project management project selection is performed. This phase defines the scope of the project. Moreover, it identifies and document project constraints, requirements and stakeholders as well. Planning is the most important phase of project management. As an old proverb says, “Plan the work, work the plan.” Planning is an art of converting a set of objectives to reality by a series of steps executed in an organized way. In this phase work breakdown structure of the project is created. While in the Scheduling phase the planned activities are formalized, resources, time duration, and sequences of steps are assigned after consultation with group members. These two phases are started before the actual project starts.

However, in Executing phase scheduled activities or tasks are executed. Team performance is improved and approved changes are implemented. Furthermore, resource allocation is managed and project resources are also obtained. Monitoring or Controlling phase is taking place at the time of actual implementation of the project. In this phase revision of initial schedule to reschedule or re-plan is determined during implementation to compensate resources, application techniques, and cost. The status of all identified tasks is monitored as well. Moreover, changes to the project scope, schedule, and cost are manages and verified. In the final phase of project planning, i.e. Closing phase project activities, all pre-defined requirements are closed out into a complete project. In addition, project history, document and record is retained.
