Time Management

Abstract

The efficient management of time is one of the most important aspects of project management; frequently it is the most critical aspect for a client. Time itself is unmanageable, and, if it is critical, must be treated as a diminishing resource from day one. Since time as a resource cannot be increased, it follows that time management really relates to the management of the activities involving any other resource within an allocated period. The effluxion of time is continuous, very easily passing unnoticed, especially in the early stages of a project; and unless a positive attitude to its use is taken from the outset, the project can very quickly be in trouble.
