Project managementis the disciplineof planning, organizing, securing and managingresourcesto bring about the successful completion of specific engineering project goals and objectives. It is sometimes conflated with program management, however technically it is actually a higher level construction: a group of related and somehow interdependent engineering projects. A projectis a temporary endeavor, having a defined beginning and end (usually constrained by date, but can be by funding or deliverables),^[1]undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives,^[2]usually to bring about beneficial change or added value. The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast to business as usual (or operations),^[3]which are repetitive, permanent or semi-permanent functional work to produce products or services. In practice, the managementof these two systems is often found to be quite different, and as such requires the development of distinct technical skills and the adoption of separate management.  Wikipedia….
