Project management and leadership, Project Management

Assignment Help:

Scenario Even ‘well run' organisations can fail to stay atop of their industries when they are challenged by certain market or technology change. Change is an imminent part of business and typically ‘good' companies use projects as a way to engage with and manage present and prospective changes in their industries.

As a result, there is an increasing orientation for corporate business processes and organisation to revolve around projects. Many of these projects are geographically dispersed creating virtual teams. The ability to successfully manage such projects ensuring their on-time, on-budget completion is critical and may involve a range of selection techniques, resource management processes and portfolio management analysis.The traditional, technical view of project management may not bring about the transformational change that increasingly organisations require.

Thus, there is a need to focus not just on project processes, methodologies and techniques but also adapting management and leadership styles appropriately.
