The APM Body of Knowledge 7th Edition is a resource that provides a solid foundation for understanding and establishing a professional approach to project management. It reflects the growing profession and recognizes the importance of project-based work at all levels and across all industries for decision makers, influencers and leaders as well as their teams.
Project management software is designed to aid with project planning, scheduling and tracking. It features features like Gantt charts and Kanban boards. It also has a real-time dashboard as well as time tracking tools.
Stakeholders are typically divided into two categories: primary and secondary stakeholders. Primary stakeholders are the primary decision makers who actively participate in a project and have significant influence over the outcomes. Secondary stakeholders may attend meetings or play a small role in the project but they do not have a lot of influence.
There are many different types of project management methods. Some of the most well-known include lean and agile approaches, heuristics and critical chain project management. The PRINCE2 method is a good example of structured project management. It separates the project into seven processes: Directing the Project, Beginning a Project, Initiating the project, managing product Boundaries, Managing a Stage, Managing Product Delivery and closing a project.
