What is project management? who is responsible for it and where exactly its used?
In: Economics
Next time you walk into a grocery store, ask yourself: “How did they know how many shopping carts to buy for the amount of customers they expect to have, and how did they get here?”
The answer is: “Because a project manager made that all happen.” During the process that was the “project” of opening the store for the first time, the PM ensured that all of things that needed to happen in order to arrive at exactly X shopping carts actually happened on time.
Evaluations of cost, square footage, opening dates, size of shopping aisles, shopping cart color, marketing, etc. All of that had to be in place before someone placed an order for carts.
That’s project management. Turning an idea (“Hey let’s open a store.”) into actual plans and activities.
