Anser - Why use project management

Project Management is the planning, monitoring and control of every aspect of a project, and the motivation and co-ordination of all those involved to achieve the desired outcome on time and to the specified cost, quality and specification.

As projects have become more complex, and pressures to successfully deliver them against strict schedules and budgets have become more and more onerous, professional project management has become a necessity. Without professional management, and proven control systems, a project will generally fail to meet its objectives. But where adequate investment in project management is made, projects are regularly completed efficiently to budget and on time.
