Summary
In this chapter, you learned about how projects are defined based on different organizational structures, the areas that influence unique projects, and the role of the project manager and other stakeholders. This information is important as a stepping stone or baseline that can help you manage a project effectively based on the circumstances of the organization and your leadership skills as a project manager.
In the next chapter, you will put all this information to good use as you review Chapter 4, Developing a Project Charter and Identifying Stakeholders. Initiating a project effectively lays the groundwork for everything else.
