Project management is the process of managing, allocating resources and timing to achieve a given goal in an efficient and expedient manner. The objectives that constitute the specified goal may be in terms of time, costs, or results. A project can be quite simple or very complex. Project management has now emerged as a distinct discipline that is embraced by various other disciplines ranging from business, servicing to engineering. Project management is a core skill in today's fast-moving business environment and is important in any setting where work is organized around projects and project teams.
