Tasks of project management
...
In general
understanding, a project is a comprehensive undertaking to solve a complex problem
...


Types of projects
In order to subdivide and classify the multitude of existing projects, projects are divided into project types
...
type of contractor
Projects can be carried out by a wide variety of organizations
...

Rather, the focus of project implementation is the achievement of a goal considered meaningful by society,
which is based on voluntary cooperation
...
Examples of NPOs are school projects or social projects
...
The primary
interest is the product to be achieved and the gain of knowledge about the organization, management and
implementation of the enterprise in view of the further development of future projects
...
role of the client
Projects can be divided into two subsections according to the role of the client:
External projects
In external projects, a legally independent company awards a project contract to another legally independent
company, mostly specialized in the implementation of projects
...

Internal projects
Internal projects are characterized by the fact that they are initiated by internal company clients and planned
and implemented with the help of the company's own resources
...
The benefits should therefore always be weighed against the financial means and resources
required
...
scope of the project
There is no clearly quantifiable boundary between large and small projects
...

This question is particularly important for the decision paths for project implementation
...


Projects in business
In the international business world, projects are becoming more and more significant
...
complex orders
Corporate assignments are becoming more and more complex, thus requiring specialists from different
industries
...
Accordingly, companies are increasingly resorting to project work
...
New environmental conditions
Communication habits have developed at an above-average rate in recent years
...
Products can be ordered from home, delivery tracked and the invoice sent
by e-mail
...

Another point of new environmental conditions are governmental requirements in the context of new political
concepts (e
...
emission reductions), which often have to be managed within a given time frame
...

...

As a result of the merging of the European internal market and the global world market, national markets must
assert themselves against foreign producers
...
At this point, projects can be advantageous, which cause a higher cost consciousness and at the same
time a purposeful and effective way of working
...
Often, a company's performance is only successful because of a time advantage over the competition
...
Consequently, the way of working can be made more effective and on schedule
...
In this context,
projects set a clear link between sales and manufacturing costs and quality
...


Tasks of project management
The goal of project management is to successfully complete the project with the help of the systematic use of tools
...

In the following phase scheme, the project is divided into four phases:
