Welcome to week 1 discussion.

Define what a project is and what project management is.

What are the characteristics of the projects, and why are companies increasingly using project management?

Describe the project stages and explain how the success and/or failure of a project can be measured.

For this discussion in addition to using the text. you can access the portal of the Project Management Institute (PMI).... one of the organizations recognized as certifying the practice of Project Management accessing the http:/www.pmi.org/ portal to begin its search. I also recommend using your favorite search engine (Google, Yahoo, etc...) and start your search under "Project Management knowledge areas".
