Finally, remember the different between planning and control. Planning takes place before the project starts and control is what we do during the project. The most challenging part of project management is to be able to respond appropriately as unforeseen circumstances hit the project. More resources may be needed, certain parts of the project may need accelerating, some plans may have to be scrapped and thought through again. Again, increasingly, computer software comes to our help. Systems such as enterprise project management packages are used for larger projects to coordinate information. Some even act as an Internet-based portal where are participants in the project can share information.
