"Simply put, project management is the discipline of planning, organizing and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of a specific project. Project management itself, however, is anything but simple. It’s an incredible balance of asking the right questions before a project even goes a head, engaging all stakeholders in a carefully laid out plan, diligent adherence to budgets and timelines, and thorough follow-up and project evaluation upon completion.”
