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
