Mastering the stages of effective project management

Context and rationale

Project management stands out for its specific methodology, its dedicated tools (schedule, risk analysis grid, communication plan, MS Project® or other software) and its particular vocabulary (scoping note, specifications, sponsor, project owner, project manager...). Mastering these 3 aspects of project culture is an essential prerequisite for structuring your approach, acquiring the right reflexes and ultimately saving time in managing all your projects.
