Overview: Project management involves defining, planning, managing, and closing a
project. In order to achieve a successful outcome, it is critical that you complete all
four phases. When you define a project, you state the overall objective, describe the
desired outcome, and explain the scope of the project.
Planning a project involves identifying tasks and estimating the
amount of time needed to perform each one. In addition, you need to list available
resources and the costs associated with each one during the planning of a project. Once
you have identified the tasks, resources, and costs, you can create a schedule. You can
schedule tasks based on factors such as resource availability, time limitations, and the
relationships between tasks.
