Managing a project, large or small, in
today's business world can be extremely difficult, given all the
critical success factors that must be considered. Projects span
across boundaries such as people and organizations, budgets, scope,
time, and technology. Having a common understanding and agreement of
the vision, scope, deliverables and acceptance criteria across
project teams and stakeholders is critical to project success.
Creating correct project plans, effectively administering and
controlling project execution, resolving issues before they affect
the project, is critical to having projects complete on time and
within budget. Ensuring that the right technology is implemented and
required quality is achieved is critical for products or services
developed to have satisfied users and function efficiently.
