Organizations execute projects because they are a necessary part of their business. Customers, investors, and competitors may demand changes (e.g., changes in their services or new product offerings, production capacity, location or quality processes). If companies don’t satisfy those customer demands they could lose market share. Project managers make sure the project’s results are the right outcomes that the executive management chartered the project to deliver on time and on budget.
