Project Management (PM) is a temporary group activity and a “process” of managing resources, the application of specialized knowledge and the use of techniques and methodologies to meet today’s changing business needs and objectives. PM is a strategic competency skill that enables companies to “tie” project results to business goals.

A successful PM’s work results in the creation of something unique, whether it is a product, service or result. PM skills are strategically and vitally important in meeting company goals, whether in: Technology, Health Care, Manufacturing, Business etc. that includes profit or non-profit entities. The Project Management profession is experiencing a growing worldwide need for professionally skilled and academically qualified personnel. Project Managers who know how to manage any or all aspects of a project (responding to a natural disaster, developing a new e-commerce application, improving mobile applications or expansion of a new geographic market etc.) from project inception/idea to closure will find this career path most challenging. The growing demand for Project Management skills is reflected in a recent posting in Hiring Demand Indicators.
