| The Art of Project Management, a discipline for initiating, planning,
executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve a
specific goal. A project is a temporary endeavour designed to produce a
unique product, service or outcome. The end to end delivery of the
project, known as the project lifecycle is affected by resource, time
management and a fixed budget. The purpose of project management is to
enhance a particular situation through the avenue of delivery and
change.
The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all the
project goals within the given constraints, normally defined in a user
or project manual, created at the beginning of the development process.
The primary constraints are scope, time, quality and budget. The
secondary and more ambitious challenge is to optimize the allocation of
necessary inputs and integrate them to meet a pre-defined objective.

a Project Charter
A project charter is the statement of scope, objectives and people who
are participating in a project. It
begins the process of defining the roles and responsibilities of those
participants and outlines the objectives and goals of the project. The charter
also identifies the main stakeholders and defines the authority of the project
manager. |

Traits of a Successful
Project Manager
Project Managers can come in all shapes,
sizes and walks of life, but there are traits which they all have in common.
These traits are what set them apart from their counterparts. There is a value
to good habits which is often overlooked. They take helpful behaviour and move
it towards being automatic. When good habits are automatic, they are just
followed, almost without thinking. And that frees up attention to focus on the
other important details on the task list. So, habits amplify effectiveness
and, therefore, how successful project management practices are developed.
