Project Management

'Project management is the discipline of defining and achieving targets while optimizing the use of resources (time, money, people, materials, energy, space, etc) over the course of a project (a set of activities of finite duration).'


There have been several attempts to develop project management standards, such as:

• A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide)
• PRINCE2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments)
• V-Modell (German project management method)
• HERMES method (The Swiss general project management method, selected for use in Luxembourg and international organisations)
• Organisational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3)
• ISO 10006:2003, Quality management systems — Guidelines for quality management in projects
• Software Engineering Institute: Capability Maturity Model
• Total Cost Management Framework (AACE International's process for Portfolio, Program and Project Management) (ref:Cost Engineering)
