Introduction to Project Management: Key Concepts and Principles

Project management involves meticulously planning, organizing, motivating and controlling resources, particularly people, to attain specific goals. In this context, a project is a temporary endeavour focused on creating a unique product, service or result with well-defined start and end points. Unlike ongoing operational activities, projects are time-bound, often constrained by budgetary limitations and exist to bring about valuable changes.

The Challenges of Project Management

The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals and objectives while adhering to preconceived constraints, including scope, time, quality and budget. The secondary challenge lies in optimizing the allocation of necessary inputs and integrating them to meet pre-defined objectives.

Role Of Project Manager

The term “project manager” is commonly used to describe anyone responsible for completing a project. However, it more accurately denotes an individual with full authority and responsibility for project completion. Essentially, our project managers can be likened to the “CEOs” of the project. They bear the ultimate responsibility for every aspect of the project to ensure alignment with FWS’ standards and clients’ expectations.
