CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

The word 'project' has been taken from the word of Latin origin, which is meant 'to combine and hybrid'. In portfolio management, a discipline that is practiced in the midst of planning, organizing, leading and controlling the effects on financial decisions on the entity's resources and create succession and achievement of project-specific goals and objectives.

Projects date back from as historical as the building of the Pyramids in Egypt to as technological and hi-tech as the HSB Hong Kong headquarters, or simply from an individual objective to a global millennium development goal for the entire world to make efforts in its' contribution. The introduction and establishment of Association for Project Management, which was nailed in 1992 and is based in the United Kingdom, intended for the endorsement of managing projects, thereby working on benchmark terms and procedures across a gamut of entities and firms. Very recently, the IT infrastructures, development of computer systems, pharmaceutical and financial firms has donated to escalate the name of project management. For qualitative researchers, project management (PM) is presumably used to conjoin tasks such as budgeting, hiring research associates, finding appropriate certifications and approvals, collecting and analyzing data, intending reports to agencies and finally making presentations and printing publications respectively (Cleland, 2006).

Typically when discussing project management, several benefits and demerits are presented in terms of facts and flaws if occurring in the normal setting. The benefits of using project management techniques, along with software and web-based tools include improved organization, time saving and the Triple Constraint. Triple Constraint implies the notion where three keys—time, scope and cost—are being kept in mind when considering and dealing with a project's description and analysis.

Responsibility and scheduled assignments are prepared in the preamble of the project management process. Monitoring, scrutiny and inspection progresses as the plan is implemented, provided that problems, issues and discrepancies are checked and discovered earlier in the process and that particular changes and modifications have undertaken, they should be analysed and implemented accordingly for the purpose of screening through the process of the Triple Constraint. PM tools also enable communication and dissemination of code of ...
