What are Project Management Best Practices?
Definition
Project management is “the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements” (Source: A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) by the Project Management Institute). Effective project management increases efficiency, drives successful outcomes, and supports organisational growth.
