Project management is an integral part of our daily lives, regardless of the field we work in. Whether it’s running a campaign, organizing a conference or company retreat, developing a new product or software solution, or introducing a new habit in our personal plans – project management requires a strategic approach, excellent time management skills, foresight, and agility to adapt to changes and account for the environment.
