This document provides an overview of key project management concepts including: - A project is a temporary endeavor to create a unique product or service with a discrete start and end. - Projects have a hierarchy and must balance scope, time, and cost constraints. - Tasks should follow the SMART model and be specific, measurable, agreed upon, realistic, and time-bound. - Risk analysis involves assessing the probability and impact of risks, and developing mitigation and contingency plans. - Effective project management requires thorough planning, risk assessment, use of scheduling tools, and tracking progress against deliverables.
