Critical Analysis on Project Management and its Techniques in making a Project successful – An analytical study

The role of different project management techniques to implement projects successfully has been widely established in areas such as the planning and control of time, cost and quality. Every project is unique in terms of the problems that arise, the priorities and resources assigned it, the environment in which it operates, and the project manager’s attitude and style used to guide and control project activities. Therefore, the organizational structure for the project must be designed to fit within that project’s operating constraints. In spite of this the distinction between the project and project management is less than precise. This paper aims to identify the overlap between the definition of the project and project management and to discuss how the confusion between the two may affect their relationship. It identifies the different individuals involved on the project and project management, together with their objectives, expectations and influences. It demonstrates how a better appreciation of the distinction between the two will bring a higher possibility of project success.
