Knowra Project management Project management Project management is the practice of planning, organizing, and overseeing temporary work to deliver a defined outcome within agreed goals, constraints, and schedule.
Work breakdown structure : A hierarchical decomposition of project scope into manageable deliverables and work packages. It turns a project's defined outcome into pieces that can be assigned, estimated, and monitored.
Project scope : The work and deliverables included in a project, along with the boundaries of what it excludes. Scope defines what the team is responsible for delivering.
Waterfall model : A sequential development approach in which work proceeds through ordered phases, typically with limited overlap. It exemplifies a plan-driven approach suited to stable requirements and clear phase boundaries.
Construction project management : The coordination of planning, design, procurement, and construction to deliver a built asset. Construction projects coordinate physical work, contractors, permits, and site constraints.
Critical path method : A scheduling technique that identifies the longest sequence of dependent activities determining a project's minimum duration. It reveals which delays directly threaten the completion date.
Project schedule : A time-based plan of project activities, dependencies, milestones, and expected completion dates. It translates intended work into an ordered plan for delivery.
Agile software development : An iterative approach to software development that emphasizes feedback, collaboration, and adaptation to change. It contrasts with predictive planning by revising plans through short delivery cycles.
Software project management : The planning and oversight of software development work to deliver software products or systems. Software projects must coordinate technical dependencies and evolving product requirements.
Earned value management : A method for integrating scope, schedule, and cost data to measure project performance and forecast outcomes. It compares completed work with planned progress and actual spending.
Project budget : The authorized estimate of money and other financial resources allocated to a project. Budget limits shape staffing, procurement, and trade-offs during execution.
