Why Project
Management?
Any project can be achieved easily if a
Systematic project management technique
is used.
Project management is having a lot of
benefits and this might be including the
completion of a project successfully
with the desired output along with
complying the policies that a business is
having with the project. Project
management also sets the scope of a
project associated with the prioritization
of the objectives that a project is having.
Besides all this the requirements of the
organization is also taken into
consideration. Proper planning helps in
the delivering of the project successfully
by accomplishing all the goals and
objectives that the project is having.
There exists various kind of concerns
which are generally associated with the
delivering of the project and some major
concerns includes the selection of proper
leadership, managerial skills and the
project manager. All this can be easily
achieved by following the project

Kerzner has been associated with
explaining various beneficial approach
as provided above along with the
approaches which are related to the

the risks and the ways of implementing
the changes. This is also associated with
providing a platforms for the executives
in which they have to follow this
approaches strictly so as to accomplish

complete the project in an efficient and
effective manner. Besides this the course
has also helped me in learning the needs
that the customers are having along with
the requirements which are needed in
order to complete the project
successfully by application of proper as
well as effective project management
skills. Along with this I also understood
the different kind of project

Critical thinking and
writing critically
Application of the proper management
skills is very helpful in bringing out the
best desired output.
The entire course helped me in learning
the fact that the most important phases
that are required in order to have a
successful project is that every step
involved in the project should be done in
a sequential manner so as to accomplish
and deliver the project by fulfilling the
entire scope of the project:
Project management consists of five
major step which includes the Project
initiation which is followed by the
project execution, monitoring and
controlling, and closure. Initiation is the
first stem in which the goals, objectives
and scope of the project is identified,
which is followed by the execution of
the project. Once executed monitoring
of the project is done along with
controlling the project. After the
completion of monitoring and
controlling phase comes the closure
phase. I have already been associated
with the implementation of all this
phases in my real life scenario so as to
do my works in a proper way.
