What Is Core Project Management?
Core project management refers to the fundamental principles, processes, and practices that drive the planning, execution, monitoring, and successful delivery of a project. It is the bedrock upon which more complex methodologies like Agile, Scrum, PRINCE2, and Lean are built.
Core project management focuses on five process groups:
Initiation
Planning
Execution
Monitoring and Controlling
Closing
Together, these stages provide a structured path for moving a project from concept to completion. Core project management also encompasses critical knowledge areas such as scope, time, cost, quality, communication, risk, procurement, resource, and stakeholder management.
