Project Management is easy to talk about but very serious to apply to any job. The process is closely related to scope of work, duration, finance, cost and quality. Without having ideas what the facts are, there is no good management. Especially for governmental projects the finance and quality factors are lacking. That s the main reason why the emerging markets suffer and deal with corruption at large.
