Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.” – Jack Welch
To become a good business leader, one must know how to manage their things and most importantly the projects they are working on.
Project management is the practice of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve specific goals and meet specific success criteria at the specified time. The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals within the given constraints.
Managing project is not that easy as we think; it takes lots of dedication, hard work, strategies, team, resources, and so on. Before starting any project, program we should have the proper idea how the project runs, how to make it sustainable and create impact for the development.
