Introduction to Project Management

 

I had a very interesting session on the first chapter ‘Introduction to Project Management’. Even though, I have heard and seen many people doing projects, I have never been so curious on why and how people do projects. In the beginning, I didn’t have a very clear idea about the projects. However, as our tutor was teaching on the topic ‘Introduction to Project Management’, I got a deeper understanding on what actually are a project and the features of the projects.

Learning the origin of the project management and few key terms were new knowledge to me.  The concept and the key terms very not very familiar to me because till now, I have never thought about the projects so deep but today’s session taught me that there are also certain key terms that we need to understand in a projects. It actually was a sense of guilty for not being able to know basic terms of projects being a university student. However, having learnt these, I expect to learn deeper on the project management.

Few challenges I faced were, difficulties in understanding the new terms related to project like ‘inflation and ‘deliverable’. It was because I have never heard of these words in related with the projects. Besides the challenges, I could capture few examples of projects in Bhutan and the most interesting thing I learnt is that project are of two types known as social and economic projects.
