Project Management - Getting Started

Project management is no different to many other things in life, where good preparation is essential to being successful. In reality, this necessitates spending some time discussing, agreeing and then approving the following:

It is often not possible to define the overall project requirements until some feasibility work has been completed, which means a short feasibility study may be needed. When a feasibility study has been launched and approved, then the work may be planned in greater detail. This planning process will assist the project team members to understand its mission and aims. The next stage involves the plan implementation and monitoring progress until the aims are achieved. The last stage is to close down the project and conduct a review so that any lessons learnt are passed on to the next project.
