Project Management
Project Management Components
Effective project management ensures systems are delivered on time, within budget, and meet requirements.
Four Key Components
Planning
Define goals, deliverables, scope, and constraints. Identify stakeholders and resources needed.
Scheduling
Order tasks, set timelines, create milestones. Use Gantt charts to visualise the schedule.
Budgeting
Estimate and allocate costs. Track spending against the budget throughout the project.
Tracking
Monitor progress against the plan. Identify issues early and adjust as needed.
