註釋

The members of any organization engage in a myriad of tasks and activities on a day-to-day basis. While each member has his or her own list of task responsibilities, the tasks and activities performed by various members are typically interrelated and require some level of collaboration. It is impossible to track and measure all these activities without breaking them down into understandable units, such as projects. A set of tasks and activities that need to be performed are not necessarily a project regardless of how important they are to the organization or the number of members that might be involved. A project is indeed a set of tasks and activities; however, a project is more specifically defined as a temporary process to complete a clearly identified set of tasks and activities within a defined period to achieve clear and agreed upon goals and objectives. Projects are generally used for new or one-time efforts, such as development of a new product; however, once a project is completed certain aspects of the project activities may be incorporated permanently into the organizational structure. A project is a process that must be carried out in accordance with very definite requirements relating to time, resources, and performance specifications of the outputs of the project. As such, a project must be “managed” to ensure that the goals and objectives are clear; that the process is well thought out; and that resource limits in terms of people, money, time, raw materials, and equipment are observed and respected. This chapter discusses project management, which encompasses all the skills and tools necessary to effectively define, plan and execute projects. Project management is a tool for conducting and completing unique, one-of-a-kind projects or functions necessary for execution of the strategy of a company without disrupting what would otherwise be the normal workflow imbedded in the formal organizational structure.
