Читать книгу Microsoft Project Fundamentals - Teresa S. Stover - Страница 34

Project management is a fascinating confluence of skills, knowledge, and intuition. It fully engages experience of the industry in which the project lives, while employing the soft skills and emotional intelligence associated with working with human beings.

All of this becomes clearer when you survey the list of the 10 project management knowledge areas: integration management, scope management, schedule management, cost management, quality management, resource management, communications management, risk management, procurement management, and stakeholder management.

Although you, the project manager, are responsible for orchestrating the disciplines of all these knowledge areas in a single project, Microsoft Project does the heavy lifting when it comes to managing the schedule, costs, and resources. Project also helps you communicate progress and formulate what-if scenarios for responding to risks and changes.
