Project Management Core Functions
As noted earlier, the first four functions: scope, quality, time
and cost, are generally considered to be the basic functions of
project management. From the sponsor's point of view, these four
functions embody the project's basic management objectives, while
for those providing services to the project, i.e. design or construction,
they constitute constraints. They therefore represent a set of core
parameters which are used to control the project.
