estimate the costs that are actually required for the project and to improve the cost benefit
analysis of the resources that are used within a project (Kerzner & Kerzner, 2017).

skills and helps in achieving greater customer satisfaction through successful delivery of the
project. Project management methodology can be applied in various sectors like for this
