Introduction 2

Why is project management important?
Increasingly organisations now structure their work into projects, giving staff responsibility for the whole or a part of a project.

Therefore, you need to equip yourself with the skills to effectively manage and deliver your part of any project on time.

"For project managers in our industry, a good understanding of technology and planning techniques is necessary but not sufficient. To be really successful they must communicate openly with customers and colleagues, present their ideas well, enthuse and motivate project team members and have the personal skills to work well with others at all levels in the organisation."
Gerry Docherty, Managing Director, Real Time Engineering Ltd
