Project management is the process of overseeing the work of a team to achieve project goals within given constraints. These constraints often include scope, time, cost and resources. Project managers must be aware of the project's surroundings and the risks.

There are a variety of methods and best practices to manage projects, including critical chain project (CCPM) agile methodologies such as the HERMES Method and the general system-based approach to project management. The Association for Project Management provides professional certifications in project management and standards, a worldwide community of project professionals, blogs, research and other sources for decision makers, influencers and project managers.

It is vital to plan the project carefully to ensure its success. This includes determining a project's technical specifications, preparing an outline of the schedule and developing a communications strategy. It is essential to determine the roles and responsibilities. You should also decide the items you'll need and hold a kickoff meeting.

A popular tool used to plan projects is the Gantt chart which allows project managers to visualize the project timeline and identify the interdependencies between tasks. They can also make real-time adjustments and assign resources. It also has collaboration features, which allows team members to update the status of their tasks and to communicate changes. They can also collaborate on documents directly within the chart.

To find the most effective projektmanagement tool for your business it is important to assess the requirements of your industry and look at features such as timeline visualisations, task management and tools for managing resources such as collaboration tools, analytics, integrations and reporting. Pick a tool that fits the budget of your company and meets your needs.
