Project management

[dimpy.handa]

Project management is the ensemble of activities concerned with succesfully achieving a set of goals. This includes planning, scheduling and maintaining progress of the activities that comprise the project. Reduced to its simplest Project Management is the discipline of maintaining the risk of failure at as low a value as necessary over the lifetime of the project. Risk of failure arises primarily from the presence of uncertainty at all stages of a project.
Project management is often the province and responsibilty of an individual Project Manager. This individual seldom participates directly in the activities that produce the end result, but rather strives to maintain the progress and productive mutual interaction of various parties in such a way that overall risk of failure is reduced.

Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, securing and managing resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. It is sometimes conflated with program management, however technically that is actually a higher level construction: a group of related and somehow interdependent engineering projects.
A project is a temporary endeavor, having a defined beginning and end (usually constrained by date, but can be by funding or deliverables), undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, usually to bring about beneficial change or added value.

Being concerned about the spate of illegal mining activities in Orissa, its state government finally swung to action and has decided to leverage IT in a big way to check illegal mining. It has decided to set up a Project Management Unit (PMU) within the state steel & mines department. Under this project, the department, among other things will maintain online records of all the lessees whose mines are currently operational in the state.
