Project management dimension:

Projects must be

• Delivered on time;
• Within estimated costs; and
• Within the scope envisaged.

Now-a-days, we speak of project management dimension, along with time, cost, scope and quality as the four vertices of a rectangle/square and customer expectations as central theme. No two customer's expectations are the similar. So you must ask what their expectations are.

A project goes by four phases during its life:

1  Project Definition: Defining the goals, objectives and critical success factors for the project.

2  Project Initiation: Everything that is required to set-up the project before work can start.

3  Project Control: Ensuring which a project stays on track and taking appropriate action to ensure it.

4  Project Closure: Disbanding of all the elements which were needed to run the project.
