Humanities Homework Help

I’m stuck on a Humanities question and need an explanation.

This week’s reading continues the introduction to the wide world of Project Management. Are projects strategic initiatives thought up by management?  Are they initiatives that will drive the organization forward in response to the challenges of global competition, market pressure, tight deadlines, limited budgets, contractual conditions or an increased need for transparency, compliance, and accountability?  Projects are no longer the sole domain of construction, engineering, and other capital infrastructure projects.  Projects now flow into customer service, hospitality, sales, IT, marketing, customer service, healthcare, education, economics, sports, and so many more growth areas across private, public, and non-profit sectors. 

Learning Objectives:

Understand what constitutes a “project” and what doesn’t

Learning about project attributes.

Being able to answer the question “what is the process of Project Management?”

Understanding what skills and expertise are needed in project management.
