Project Management is the science and art of managing the business of an organization and the growth of a nation by translating strategy into successful action. While quite a few Indian projects have achieved outstanding performance and even set international records, Project Management in India still has tremendous scope for improvement. A study by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation estimates the cost and time overrun in projects at INR 429186 crores (USD 57 billion]. One of the reasons that India lags behind China in economic development is the absence of professional project management culture and also Certified Project Managers.
