Introduction
Define what project management means?
Project management is when the person who is the leader of the project has divided the different
phases for the project in order for it to be organised and to be easier to execute and be accurate.
Project management is important as it makes it easier for the workers to follow the different phases
of the project because they are clear and in order in which it will help the project to be executed
faster.
What are IT projects?
IT projects are projects that are somewhat connected to information systems or any type of
computer technology which can include different activities such as software development, game
development, programming applications or large-scale software systems. IT projects can also be web
development which can include updating the web pages on the website or developing a brand-new
website. There are fewer categories that are considered as IT projects such as research, service,
software development, system development and deployment, change of management, and
infrastructure.
What is project scope?
Project scope is a precise summary of the aspects of a project such as the activities done for it, the
resources that were needed for the project to be executed, the timelines of the progress of the
project, deliverables, and the project’s limits. The scope of a project also reveals the key
stakeholders of the project, processes that were undertaken while the project was being developed
and constrains about the project and also what the project is about. All of this information is being
documented in a scope statement.
Summarise a project from beginning to end?
When starting a project, the company that is managing the project should make a plan that they will
work through to create the project. There are four general parts of project summaries which are
firstly starting with the problem that needs to be solved in the project, next they would want to
outline the solution that is most reliable to the problem and the most recommended one, after that
they have to explain the value of the solution to the other workers and at last, they have to wrap up
the project with conclusion about the work importance on the project.
Explain the 5 main stages of a project Lifecycle? (Initiation, planning, executing, monitoring, closing)
There are a couple of different phases in which projects are usually divided and there are initiating
the project which means to define the project and to identify the project stakeholders, deliverables,
scope and also to compare the potential cost and benefits for the project in order to determine if
the project is moving forward, the planning phase is where the project is being broken down into
smaller task that are easier to undertake, creating a project plan and identifying the materials and
