Project Management Decoded

1. What is project management?

Project management is the process of piloting teams towards their predefined goals within a finite timespan through planning, tracking and execution, usually under the guidance of a project manager. PMI defines project management as "the use of specific knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to deliver something of value to people". Fields like Engineering, Information Technology (IT) and Construction that commonly have complex processes, can benefit from project management. Some businesses manage their work using different types of project management approaches. Waterfall, Agile and Lean are some of the commonly used project management methodologies

2. Why do businesses need project management?

Project management allows businesses to plan efficiently, without straying from the big picture. When everyone knows what they're working on, a positive working environment is fostered. Moreover, with project management, teams can allocate each member with an optimum amount of work that they are accountable for, laying the foundation for proper resource utilization. It also helps with consistent tracking so that your teams know where your project stands at every juncture, leading to increased productivity.

3. Who uses project management?

Whether it is a large conglomerate or a nascent start-up, organizations of any size can use project management; be it a construction company or a healthcare center, project management helps with managing work in any industry. Freelancers, consultants, students, or anyone having a stretch of tasks with an end goal can benefit from project management.

4. What are the key features of project management?

Efficient task management helps in breaking complex work items into manageable portions. Optimum resource utilization helps get the most out of teams by allocating work wisely. Acute time tracking helps monitor the time that each task takes to complete. Proper budget estimation helps track your expenses and learn whether your project is over or under budget. Seamless collaboration allows teams to participate in brainstorming sessions and discussions.

5. How does project management work?

Project management gives your project purpose, a framework, and a ground-plan, through planning, tracking, collaboration and execution of tasks that are assigned to resources. With project management, you can streamline all the processes required to attain your goals, keep everyone in the loop through continuous communication, track every phase of the project closely and move past hiccups. It helps your teams stay organized, stay on the same page, and stay accountable!

6. What are the benefits of using project management?

Monitoring every stage allows for rigorous tracking of the project, phase by phase. Streamlining processes and having people accountable for their tasks helps do away with clutter and confusion. Project management helps identify bottlenecks so that you can swiftly swerve across bottlenecks to avoid any slips, trips and falls. Communication within and across teams becomes efficient and seamless when your teams are on the same page, thereby helping you achieve your ultimate target.

7. How do I choose a good project management software?

A good online project management software is one that is intuitive, customizable and user-friendly, helps you navigate through all your widgets smoothly without jumping tabs, and customize your dashboards as per your preference. It doesn't always have to burn a hole in your pocket. It should integrate well with your existing work ecosystem, provide excellent customer support, maintain data security and privacy, acclimate easily and save time so that you can create high-quality projects.
