Google Project Management

Think about the last time you planned a group vacation. Finding a location, delegating who should bring what, collecting and tracking payments, coordinating your arrival, and ensuring everyone enjoys the trip are all project management tasks. Think about the value of these tasks. Now, think about the value that can add to a company. Project management helps ensure that a project delivers the expected outcomes — both on time and within budget. Project management is critical to the success of projects both big and small.
