What is a project? What is project management? This module introduces several projects and emphasizes the importance of the early project phases (think before act!) for delivering a successful project. But how is project success defined? How is it achieved? We explain the choice of focusing this course on the front-end phase of projects and the people aspect of projects. Also, we link to a more strategic level: how to select the right projects?
