The Project Manager (PM) is that professional who has the duty of coordinating the project efforts in order to achieve the objectives, defined according to the SMART method. Amongst the applicative tasks that a PM must carry out, five process groups can be identified, defined as a group of correlated actions and activities carried out to obtain a determined product, result or service.
These identify the macro management phases of a typical project management: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring/Control and Closing.

Thanks to the adoption of a project management organization and method, a series of advantages can be identified attributable to such activities: Effectiveness/efficiency, Organizational certainty, Less risk of error (and increase in quality) and Reduction of costs.
