Project Management Factors

Overview

Project management is a systematic approach rather than a tool. Project management is the field of organizing, managing and planning resources in order to allow the successful achievement of a particular set of objectives and deliverables in the structure of the project.

In order to carry out effective project management, a project manager needs to plan and design a system from the start of the project, and must review that plan on continuous basis, during the project life cycle (Harold, 2003, pp.130).

Ethical

The biggest ethical issue that many project managers face is related to dealing with project stakeholders. The biggest challenge they face in this regard is providing an honest communication regarding costs, risks and status. In accordance to the ethical standards, a project manager needs to communicate not just truthfully, however completely, by making use of a language comprehensible by project stakeholders. If any ethical issue arises, the project manager needs to immediately inform project stakeholders.
