Project Management: Entirety

Project Management has gained much recognition in recent times, where it has become a separate professional skill to achieve certain goals/objectives. Earlier it used to be a part of a business or engineering work only; however, nowadays it has become a norm to finish any task that has set goals to achieve in a specified time.
