Project Management Orientation

What Is Project Management?

WWPMM defines project management as the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet or exceed stakeholder objectives and expectations from a project (from PMI).

WWPMM also defines project management as the planning, organizing, monitoring, and controlling of all aspects of the project in a continuous process to achieve its objectives (from ISO 10006).

Both definitions are correct and accurately reflect what is generally expected of a project manager to successfully manage a project.
