Core Principles of Project Management

Project Management is a temporary, organized effort to create a unique product, service, or process. It has become important due to VUCA environments (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity), more projects running in parallel, higher failure rates, and the need to link projects with strategy and value creation (EPM – Enterprise Project Management). Project managers often do not have formal authority, work cross-functionally, and accept change and even project termination as viable options.
