6. Project Management

Projects are unique activities with a beginning and an end. Their unique character introduces risks into the workplace and requires careful planning to ensure risks are controlled and that projects are completed on time, on budget and to the desired quality. Formal accountabilities should be defined for each project.  Project plans define the goals, responsibilities, resources and risks throughout the project lifecycle. Effective execution and control ensures changes are managed, work is completed correctly and stakeholder expectations are met. Post project review ensures lessons are learned for future projects.
