Project Management is a set of necessary activities
performed to ensure that all the project objectives are met
within the defined parameters of cost, quality and schedule.
It would include everything from starting to executing to
controlling to winding up of the project requiring the
project manager to take care of other parameters like
resource mix, profitability, stake holder communication,
knowledge build up and retention.
As a project manager you might enter a project at any of the
above mentioned phases and exit it at one of the above
stages, but the activities you would need to perform would
be more or less as defined in the above paras.
