Everywhere you look, projects are underway. Whether you’re recruiting a new member of staff or constructing the world’s tallest building, every project needs a manager to ensure its success; someone with their eye on every detail, at every stage, from inception to completion.
Put simply, project management is about getting things done.
It’s about knowing exactly what you want to achieve, how you’re going to achieve it, and how long it will take. It’s about ensuring that everyone involved shares and understands those aims, before the first steps are taken, and that they continue to as the end of the project - whatever it is - draws closer.
Because successful projects don’t just happen. They’re not just a long list of jobs to be done, they are a masterpiece of planning, management, organisation and communication; a carefully choreographed sequence of events, where progress is smooth and steady, one step leads seamlessly to the next, and every possible hitch has been considered and countered.
A successful project needs people with the right skills and knowledge at its heart. Working together, a well-managed, motivated team with clear roles, responsibilities, and reporting lines, will carry a project to its conclusion without compromising on time, cost or quality.
Project management is a wonderful thing - but it’s easy to forget how the world might look without it. Because, at its best, project management is virtually invisible. It is the absence of problems and the prevention of failure.
But behind every successful project - whether it’s changing the way a company works or the organisation of an important event - there’s an unsung hero: The project manager, who kept everything and everyone on track to ensure the delivery of the desired result.
At APM we support project managers in all the amazing work they do every day. If you’d like to know more about project management, visit us at www.apm.org.uk/WhatIsPM

Only thing I don’t understand is what industry is it for? Can anyone give examples of specific fields where project management is used? Is it finance, business, advertising… what kind of degree do people get to become a project manager?

[@andreaball8946]

It’s a certificate. You can use it in any industry.

Great question

[@1234abhinav]

@Association for Project Management : This is a great video ! Wanted to share this with some colleagues in China. Do you also have this video on another platform which is accessible in China?

[@APMProjectMgmt]

Hi Abhinav, thanks for your question. I'm afraid we only have this video on KZbin.

[@Anikvikram]

Superb 👏

[@echelleleighton9424]

I'm busy with my very first project, but it's starting to frustrate me as the parties involved doesn't want to cooperate, what do you suggest I do as I'm not in an authoritative position and I believe that's the reason they don't take me seriously.

[@lynxmystique]

I think you got the triple constraints wrong. PM constraints are Time, Scope and Cost. All these affect quality. Quality isn't one of the traditional constraints...

[@APMProjectMgmt]

HI Lynx, the triangle is commonly known to have the triple constraints of time, cost and quality - although people also use terms such as performance or scope. The scope of the project is really represented by the whole triangle and is impacted by the three constraints. I hope that helps, you can find out more via this link: www.apm.org.uk/resources/what-is-project-management/

Hello! I would like to translate the narration to brazilian portuguese to present this video for Brazilian students. May I do it, giving you the credits?

[@APMProjectMgmt]

Hi Bruno, thanks for getting in touch. It would be good to know a bit more detail about what you'd like to do, how it would be used etc. Please could you send a message with more information? Thanks

[@brunogebara8544]

Association for Project Management I’m creating a facebook page to promote knowledge in project management for brazilians. It’s a educacional project of mine. My idea is to translate articles, videos and another medias, since there’s not so much content in portuguese.

[@APMProjectMgmt]

Hi Bruno, if you are able to translate the existing transcript, then I believe we can get this added to the video so you can select the language in the subtitle menu. Please send the transcription to [e-mail] and mark for the attention of Owain. Thanks

[@brunogebara8544]

Association for Project Management so narration would not be an option?

[@APMProjectMgmt]

Unfortunately not as we wouldn't want this video content duplicated on another channel in any way, but please let us know if you would like to provide subtitles that we can add to the existing clip.
