Careers in Business Analysis and Project Management


8232Simply stated, project management, or PM, is a process of organizing and managing resources that deliver a completed product, service, or result that is completed within time, cost, and quality constraints and meets or exceeds the needs and expectations of the customer. Sounds simple, doesn’t it?

The bad news is that less than 50% of all projects succeed.

The good news is that there’s never been a better time to become a project manager!

In the coming years, organizations that want to sustain and leverage these gains will increase their advantages by embedding PM processes and developing PMOs in their organizations.
