This document discusses key concepts in project management. It defines a project as a temporary endeavor with a definite beginning and end, undertaken to create a unique product or service. Project management is defined as applying knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet requirements. Stakeholders are people involved in or affected by project activities. Key project constraints include scope, time, cost, quality, risk, and resources. The document also outlines the five process groups in project management and how they map to the plan-do-check-act cycle.

draws to a close.
13. Stakeholder influences, risk, and uncertainty, are greatest at the start of the project. These factors decrease over
the life of the project.
The cost of changes and correcting errors typically increases substantially as the project approaches
completion.
