Project management involves using limited resources over a fixed period of time to achieve specific goals. It requires both technical skills and managing behavioral aspects. The document outlines the basic processes and knowledge areas of project management according to PMBOK, including initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing projects. It emphasizes understanding stakeholders by answering who they are, what they need, how their performance will be measured, and managing expectations, perceptions, and issues.

9. I Keep six honest serving-men:
(They taught me all I knew)
Their names are What and Where and When
And How and Why and Who.
I send them over land and sea,
I send them east and west;
But after they have worked for me,
I give them all a rest.
I let them rest from nine till five.
For I am busy then,
As well as breakfast, lunch, and tea,
For they are hungry men:
But different folk have different views:
I know a person small--
She keeps ten million serving-men,
Who get no rest at all!
She sends 'em abroad on her own affairs,
From the second she opens her eyes--
One million Hows, two million Wheres,
And seven million Whys!
Rudyard Kipling
"The Elephant Child"
