Why master the skills of project management? A simple question and an equally simple answer. Today’s hugely competitive environment prompts industries to improve and grow, and in doing so, implement projects to create new and better services and products. And no industry is exempt. From managing science research projects, launching a new product, debuting a newly released film or music album, starting up a new business, developing properties, building a bridge, conducting a medical trial, or managing the distribution of emergency food and water. Huge discrepancies exist between types of project and project size, from a single person working part time to tens of thousands of team members working across countries and continents. Projects are vastly different from each other and occupy so many sectors and industries. What’s more, many people do not realize that they are already practising elements of management within their current jobs.
