Answer to Question #255172 in Management for Liz28

Question

In your opinion, under what circumstances it is appropriate to use project management rather than “usual” management. (Hint: Consider the definition of a project, complexity, scope, etc.) 

Answer 1

A project is a unit of an organization dedicated to achieving a particular goal, usually involving the development of products, or services, or development activities. The complexity and scope of a project determine the appropriate management approach, and in my view, the following are circumstances that would require the use of project management:

1. Magnitude of a project; massive projects that significantly affect the organization in terms of resources or operations would require project management rather than ordinary management.

2. The risks associated with a project; projects that present many uncertainties would require project management because they can determine risk management techniques.
