Project management is the structuring of a project in terms of visible and manageable activities, which are the building blocks for executing the project across its lifecycle. In particular, one of the critical phases of the lifecycle of a project is project planning. Project planning must include the main strategy for a working method within the project team. It should structure the tasks and describe the tools for monitoring the execution and controlling the project's progress. On the one hand, this chapter describes the essential steps of a project. On the other hand, it presents the most used perspectives and methods such as PMBOK, PRINCE, Agile, Scrum, and supporting technologies such as Asana, BaseCamp, Trello, Slack, or Jira.
