This document provides an overview of key aspects of project management including definitions, scheduling, communication, risks, and outlines. It defines a project as a unique undertaking with a defined beginning and end that creates something new and involves cross-functional groups operating under constraints. All projects go through planning, implementation, monitoring and control, and closure. Project management is defined as a set of skills for planning, organizing, and managing a project from start to finish. Effective project scheduling breaks work into tasks, assigns resources, and tracks start and end dates to provide accountability and measure progress against the triple constraint of time, scope and cost.
