Put simply, project management is the use of proven processes, methods, skills, knowledge and experience to achieve specific project objectives. In a business environment, almost anything can be a new project and could thus require project management. Project management starts with an idea and involves the process of turning that idea into reality through planning, delegation, goal-setting, organization, execution, reporting, iteration, and more. Some of the most popular industries for project management include technology and software, construction, healthcare, finance, and engineering.
