3. What makes project management special?
The specific nature of any project stems from its context, objectives, the stakeholders involved and the conditions for achieving the expected result. This is what sets project management apart from the management of recurring activities within an organization.
The standard summarizes the main concepts associated with project management, making them easy to grasp. In addition, several diagrams help to situate a project within an organization:
global representation of project management concepts and their interrelations ;
value creation ;
articulation between projects, programs and project portfolios ;
project stakeholders.
