Answer / narahari
The project management helps in defining and planning the
project. This results in the completion of a Project
Definition and a project workplan. Once the project starts,
the project manager must successfully manage and control the
work, including:
Identifying, tracking managing and resolving project issues
Proactively disseminating project information to all
stakeholders
Identifying, managing and mitigating project risk
Ensuring that the solution is of acceptable quality
