Project management involves overseeing the work of a group to meet project objectives while adhering to a set of constraints. These constraints include budget, time, and scope. Project managers must be aware of the project’s context and risks.
There are a variety of methodologies and best practices for managing projects including critical chain project management (CCPM) agile methods such as the HERMES method, and the general system approach to project management among others. The Association for Project Management (APM) offers professional standards for project management and certifications, a global community of project professionals as well as blogs, research, and other sources for decision makers, influencers and project managers.
It is crucial to plan the project correctly in order to ensure its success. This includes determining a project’s technical specs, preparing a detailed schedule and formulating the communications strategy. It is also essential to establish roles and responsibilities, determine the requirements for purchasing and hold a kick-off meeting.

They can also make changes in real-time and assign resources. It also has collaboration tools that let team members update task statuses, communicate changes, and collaborate on documents directly within the chart.
