Description including Unit Aims

Project management has been adopted by a wide range of organizations in industry, commerce and management to help handle many, varied one-off activities, also known as projects. The problems involved in managing such activities have led to the development of project management as a specialised branch of management. As the use of projects has become more commonplace, managers need to critically examine concepts, theories and techniques to which they will be exposed in a managerial environment.
