Project Management is a discipline involving the planning, organizing, and managing of resources to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. It focuses on five key phases: initiation, planning, execution, monitoring, and closure, with the aim to meet project requirements within constraints such as scope, time, and budget.
