effort that is ongoing to
ensure that project
management processes are
improved.
Such efforts can either
seek "breakthrough"
improvement at a go, or
"incremental"
improvement with time.

discussion timeline is project
changes. It is also known as
change management.
The changes that are talked
about should be handled. The
process requires taking a
break from routine and
refreshing the mind through
recreational activities.
