    Project Management

    • A project is a unique endeavor with a definite beginning and end, producing a unique product, service, or result.
    • Projects are temporary, meaning they have a limited lifespan.
    • Projects are progressively elaborated, meaning details and specifications become more defined over time.

    Project Constraints

    • Cost Constraints: Managing added deliverables, staffing and recruiting, changes in material prices, and delays in resources.
    • Time Constraints: Delays in resources, miscalculation of task duration, and added deliverables from the client.
    • Scope Constraints: Underestimating the scope of work, miscalculation of required work.

    Project Life Cycle
