It entails defining objectives, sequencing tasks, assigning resources, tracking progress, and measuring outcomes. Proper project management enables efficient use of limited resources, early issue identification, on-time completion, and quality outcomes. The consequences of not using project management include delays, cost overruns, wasted resources, poor quality, and dissatisfaction.
