Overview

This chapter’s primary objective is to list and explain the key concepts related to project management
and describe important benefits related to projects as well as the formal study of project management.
This chapter provides an overview of project management, defining both projects and project
management and exploring the difference between project management and operations management.
Technological innovations and disruptions, and constantly changing social and economic conditions
locally and all across the world impose new burdens on the organizations to shorten the time needed to
develop and deliver new products and services that would increase organizations’ competitive
advantage. Therefore, many organizations have become more aware of adopting a systematic project
management approach that can drive the change they desire (see Chapter 12). This chapter also
provides the concepts of project life cycle, project management process groups, and project
management knowledge areas according to the PMBOK Guide 6th Edition.
