Road map to Project Management

What is it?

Project management is a methodical approach to planning and guiding project processes from start to finish.

Every Project Manager’s wish is to accomplish his project goals on time with available resources. PM can achieve the goals, but finishing it with the constraints of the project is big achievement of that PM. Constraints may include time limit, budget, standards to follow etc. Good planning in the beginning can save you from a lot of hassle in the middle of the project.

I’ll quote these words about Project Management which I read today. “There's never enough time to do it right first time but there's always enough time to go back and do it again.”

The Project Map gives you guidelines for doing your project right the first time. The Project Map discussed here outlines three phases of project.

• Build a plan
• Track & Manage Project
• Close the Project

This map applies to Microsoft Project & Project Server products. You can go through it here.
