Project Management Concepts -

Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. It is sometimes conflated with program management, however technically a program is actually a higher level construct: a group of related and somehow interdependent projects.

Project Management Triangle

The Project Management Triangle.

Like any human undertaking, projects need to be performed and delivered under certain constraints. Traditionally, these constraints have been listed as "scope," "time," and "cost".These are also referred to as the "Project Management Triangle,"

where each side represents a constraint. One side of the triangle cannot be changed without affecting the others. A further refinement of the constraints separates product "quality" or "performance" from scope, and turns quality into a fourth constraint.

1) The time constraint refers to the amount of time available to complete a project.

2) The cost constraint refers to the budgeted amount available for the project.
