Approaches to project management is an umbrella term for the various project management approaches used to successfully manage and complete a given project. It covers all of the activities involved in planning, organizing, directing and controlling a project from inception to completion. This includes things such as determining objectives, setting deadlines and allocating available resources. It also encompasses processes related to risk management and quality assurance. Effective approaches to project management help ensure projects are completed on time, within budget and meet desired outcomes. There’s no one right way to do things – but by understanding your options you can find the approach that best fits the project at hand.
