1.1

Describe how you will go about managing this project and

the tools and techniques that you will use to plan, organize,
co-ordinate and lead the project. Create and develop the
data required for this process as you go along.

A project is a plan that coordinates a set of limited-scope activities that

do not need to be divided into several major projects in order to reach
an important nonrecurring goal. Like programs, projects often have
their own budgets. A project may be one of several related to a
particular program.

A project is a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a unique

product, service or result. It a set of activities, normally with a
specified duration which uses resources to produce goods or services
which generate benefits.

As project manager I will have the responsibility for coordinating

efforts involving individuals in several different organisational units
who are all working on a particular project. A specified Project
Manager may be designated either full time or part time for the
project with or without a supporting team. Because the individuals
report not only to the managers in their specific work units but also
to their project manager, project managers usually must have
extremely strong interpersonal skills to keep things moving

and manpower
