principles that will help in conducting the project successfully. Before developing a project it
becomes essential to ensure that the project is being developed based on the requirements that

operate according to the goals. While going through the modules I have learnt that there is a high
need to have a proper managmenet skill so that as a project leader I can address all the
requirements of the organization. In order to make a project beneficial it becomes essential to
ensure that the project is being developed in a way that it has the ability to focus on the success
