What Is Project Management?
Copyright UT CPE 2020
A project is
Copyright UT CPE 2020
a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a
unique product, service, or result.
Projects have a defined beginning and a
defined end.
Think of a project as an undertaking
requiring a disciplined approach to
producing something.
This definition is taken from the Glossary of Project Management Institute, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge,
(PMBOK® Guide) – Sixth Edition, Project Management Institute Inc., 2017.
Copyright UT CPE 2020
Project management is
the application of knowledge, skills, tools,
and techniques to project activities to meet
the project requirements.
Program management is
the application of knowledge, skills, and
principles to a program to achieve the
program objectives and obtain benefits and
control not available by managing program
components individually.
These definitions are taken from the Glossary of Project Management Institute, A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge,
(PMBOK® Guide) – Sixth Edition, Project Management Institute Inc., 2017.
Project and program management involve
balancing competing demands among scope,
time, cost, and quality.
Additionally, it is
• Not just managing, but doing.
• Both a science and an art.
• Reliant upon soft skills, not software.
• A profession.
Copyright UT CPE 2020
Why Study Project Management?
• Acquire skills to effectively manage the constraints
of a project
• Learn to avoid the pitfalls that can prevent a project
from being successful
• Learn the leadership and communication skills
needed to be a successful project manager
• Increase your personal and professional value
