Complex Problems

Today's development projects are more complex and require the participation of a diverse group of stakeholders, project managers need to coordinate between the needs of the many stakeholders. Coordinate and integrate the work of different specialists from different fields, and need to use different approaches to solve the complex problems.

Development projects need to be carefully designed taking in consideration the input from different stakeholders, project budgets need to be managed, schedules monitored, and outcomes evaluated. This complex project environment requires appropriate project management skills.

 

Project Management is more than just implementing the activities identified in a
log frame, it includes managing all the components required to effectively
manage a project from its resources, risks and changes, to ensure that the project meet its objectives within the expected quality, timeframe, and budget, at the same time of meeting the expectations from stakeholders.
