Project management focuses on directing resources to meet predefined goals within constraints, while general management ensures broader operations and continuity. The basic ingredients of project management are: general management principles, supporting disciplines like programming or finance that require unique knowledge, and special knowledge domains needed throughout a project's life. In construction, project management sets goals to be met by carrying out constrained operations, resolving conflicts between objectives and resource limits upfront through choices or solutions.

Answer the questions in not more than 3 sentences based on the reading.
1. What is the difference between project management and general management of
business? Project management is the art of directing and coordinating human and material resources throughout the life of a project by employing current management techniques to meet predefined scope, cost, schedule, quality, and satisfaction goals. General management in business and industrial enterprises, on the other hand, has a broader perspective and ensures greater operational continuity. Nonetheless, there are enough parallels and contrasts between the two to allow for the adaptation of modern management approaches established for general management to project management.
2. Explain the basic ingredients in project management:
The basic ingredients for a project management framework are: general management, supporting disciplines, and special knowledge domains. General management is the management of an organization's overall activities and processes in order to ensure coordination and optimal resource utilization. In project management, supporting disciplines refers to a specific field of work or focus in which a specific bank of knowledge is required, as well as a specific field of work that will require unique and unalterable sets of rules and regulations regarding the required conduct that must be followed in the course of completing that work activity. Computer programming, various mechanical functions, financial functions, and so on are examples of distinct sectors of labor that can be termed disciplines. Special knowledge domains is required in all phases of a project, program or a portfolio to define business needs, validate requirements and decision-making, identify flaws in business processes, enable real-time analysis and testing, and implement procedural improvements. And we need to do all of this, while determining the acceptable performance levels, collaborating across multiple teams, and simplifying information access and sharing.
3. Describe project management in construction in terms of its functions.
In construction, project management refers to a set of goals that can be met by carrying out a sequence of operations that are constrained by resources. The stated objectives in terms of scope, cost, time, and quality may conflict with the limits imposed on human, material, and financial resources. These conflicts should be resolved at the start of a project by making the required choices or coming up with new solutions.ss
