Managing a project is all about setting and achieving goals. It involves breaking down the bigger picture into small, achievable steps in order to hit those targets. To manage a project successfully, you need to have an in-depth knowledge of the project lifecycle, from analyzing the scope of the job to putting the right team together, plus managing communication, evaluating risks, and monitoring progress. With the right people and process in place, projects can be managed with science as well as art — inspiring teams to work towards common objectives and achieving tangible results.
