The APM Body of Knowledge 7th Edition is a resource that provides a solid foundation for understanding and developing a professional project management. It reflects the growing profession and acknowledges the importance of project-based work for leaders, decision makers and influencers at all levels, and across all sectors.
Project management software is designed to help with planning scheduling, tracking and planning. It offers features such as Gantt charts, Kanban boards, a live dashboard time tracking system, and collaboration tools to help project managers manage projects, tasks and their people.
Stakeholders are usually divided into two groups which are secondary and primary stakeholders. Primary stakeholders are the key decision makers who actively participate in the project and have huge influence over its results. Secondary stakeholders can attend meetings or take part in the project, but they don’t have much influence.
There are a variety of project management methodologies. Some of the most popular include agile and lean approaches, heuristics, and critical chain project management. The PRINCE2 method is an example of a well-structured project management strategy. It divides the project into seven steps: Leading an entire project, starting up an Project, Initiating an Project, Managing Product Boundaries, Controlling the stage and Managing Product Delivery, and closing a project.
