    Project management involves organizing people, equipment, and processes to complete a project within a set timeframe and budget. A project manager is responsible for coordinating all resources to achieve objectives. When planning a project, it is important to consider the available human and material resources, costs, time constraints, and required tasks or activities. Project management techniques have been used since ancient times but modern tools developed in the early 1900s and 1950s, including Gantt charts, critical path methods, and program evaluation review techniques, which form the basis for documenting and managing project progress.

    Module 2: Project Management Overview

    Project management overview and definition

    Projects are singular, but non-routine, events with precise objectives which must be achieved within a
    set timeframe. Projects are broken into a set of activities designed to fulfill the stated objectives.
    Examples of projects include the building of a house, the holding of an event like a party or even
    something as simple as completing a school assignment.

    Project Management requires the organization of people, equipment and procedures in an appropriate
    way to get a project completed within a set timeframe and budget. A Project Manager is responsible for
    the coordination of all these resources in order to achieve the project objective

    Management techniques allow vast undertakings to be managed effectively.

    Project Management gone wrong. It was reported that the construction of this building will cost up to
    four times the original project estimate. It is an example of a project executed in an atmosphere of delay
    and controversy, featuring not only an extraordinary budget blow-out but a court battle and the
    resignation of the chief Project Manager.
    The following need to be considered when planning a project,

     Purpose and aim of the project


     Resources availble both human and material
     Costing, human and time constraints
     The task, procedures or activities required to complete the project

    *when planning a project it is important to consider the human and material resources that are
    available

    Project management techniques are used by organizations because they ensure that organizational
    objectives and system objectives are being met in a timely, accurate, relevant and complete manner.
    They provide a way of controlling people, resources and procedures, and clearly identify the tasks that
    must be completed and the desired completion time.

    Project Management History


    Project Management is not a new concept. Even in the time of the Ancient Egyptians a form of project
    management was needed to coordinate the construction of the great pyramids. Modern project
    management tools were, however, not developed until the early 1900s with the creation of the GANTT
    chart method. Further refinement in project management tools came about in the 1950s with the
    development of the Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT).
    These three tools form the basis for documenting and managing the progress of projects. All of these
    tools produce graphical representations of projects, and all current project management software
    includes these components.
