WHAT IS PROJECT MANAGEMENT?
Project management is the application of processes, methods, knowledge, skills and experience to achieve the project objectives. Projects are the vehicles of change in an organisation. They are not the repetitive business-as-usual type of activity. Project management is essentially aimed at producing an end product or deliverable that will effect some change for the benefit of the organisation that instigated the project.

A guide to project sponsorship
Project sponsorship offers organisations huge opportunities when implemented successfully. While significant work has been undertaken to improve project performance via project delivery teams, little has focused on critical issues of sponsorship and leadership.
This may be attributed to the sponsor’s role being hard to define and lacking traction in the boardroom.
