PROJECT MANAGEMENT -- BASICS
============================

Project Management by Carter McNamara
Project management is a carefully planned and organized effort to
accomplish a specific (and usually) one-time effort, for example,
construct a building or implement a new computer system. Project
management includes developing a project plan, which includes defining
project goals and objectives, specifying tasks or how goals will be
achieved, what resources are need, and associating budgets and
timelines for completion. It also includes implementing the project
plan, along with careful controls to stay on the "critical path", that
is, to ensure the plan is being managed according to plan. Project
management usually follows major phases (with various titles for these
phases), including feasibility study, project planning,
implementation, evaluation and support/maintenance. (Program planning
is usually of a broader scope than project planning, but not always.)

Project management is the discipline of defining and achieving targets
while optimizing the use of resources (time, money, people, space,
etc). Thus, it could be classified into several models: time, cost,
scope, and intangibles.
