Importance of Project Management

Working on a project at the initial stage requires management to oversee its progress and a team with varying skills to carry out different tasks surrounding the project. Together, this team is responsible for managing and executing the project goals on time and within budget, which is where effective project management comes in.

Project Management is so important because it ensures the following:

Leadership – Without project management, it’s easy for a team to feel lost without direction. Project management provides essential guidance to teams and brings initiative, so everyone is doing their best at managing projects. A Project Manager provides vision to inspire, mentor, and encourage the team to perform at their best.

Clear focus and goals – When solid project management is in place, people work with clearly defined briefs; have focus, have clear targets, and every team member is aware of what they need to do (or not do), to help complete the project.

Realistic project planning – Project management ensures project delivery timelines and spending appraisals are planned and considered appropriately, helping to deliver projects on time and within budget. Project management helps project teams plan with achievable deadlines.

Strategic alignment – Project management helps to guarantee everything being undertaken within a project is aligned with customer and organisational objectives. Effective project management guarantees to line up both the objectives of projects with the goals of the business.

Quality control – A Project Manager with the full support and backing of the executive management team, can ensure effective delivery of a project on time, and within budget, due to agreed times and resources from above. Project management is essential to quality assurance, as it considers a staged procedure, generating time for teams to test and analyse their outputs along the way.
