Why Project Management
The basic purpose for initiating a project is to accomplish specific goals.The reason for organizing the task as a project is to focus the responsibility and authority for the attainment of the goals of an individual or a small group.
In spite of the fact that the PM often lacks authority at a level consisten with his/her responsibility,the manager is expected to co-ordinate and integrate all activities needed to reach the project’s goals.

Why Project Management
In particular,the project form of an organisation allows the manager to be responsive to : − The client and the environment − Identify and correct the problems at an early date − Make timely decisions about trade-offs between conflicting project goals − Ensure that managers of separate tasks that comprise the project do not optimize the performance of their individual tasks at the expense of the total project

Overview of Project Management
Project Management is now being recognized as a valuable “career path” in many organisations,as well as a way to gain valuable experience within the organisation.
PMI was founded in 1969 to foster the growth and professionalism of project management.
Project Management,though not problem free is the best way to accomplish certain goals.
Projects often start slowly,build up speed while using considerable resources and then slow down as completion nears.
