| For
many years, the skills of project management have been recognised
as highly desirable for managers at all levels in an organisation.
Most people today can benefit from the application of these
skills to some parts of their daily operations.
The
increasing complexity of projects implies the need to understand
the principles of project management. Taking a structured
approach to manage a project greatly increases its chances
of success, and avoids the pitfalls that could result in the
project becoming a failure.
