Project Management Practices critical to Building Strong Relationship

Relationship building depends on so many factors which we are aware of but treat them as trivial matters. A relationship involves two or more persons, place or thing and for it to be efficient and effective it must be reciprocal or mutual i.e every party involved must play their roles and adhere to respective rules and guidelines. Relationship building takes place in institutions like marriage, organizations like ProjectPeople Limited and in every other occasion, situation or circumstances. An example of a job that has to do with relationship building is a Customer Care Executive: he/she has to build a relationship with the customers, manage customers’ expectations and make sure that customers are satisfied

One of the factors which relationship building depends on is management. Management has various meanings in respect to where it is being practiced. However, nowadays when we look around we find all sorts of management skills such as Business Management, Strategic Management, Catering Management, Body Management,  Project Management and so on. Management can be defined as the organization and co-ordination of the activities of a process such as business, company, relationships; in order to achieve the defined objectives. The success or failure of every process deeply relies on its management i.e the personnel involved in managing the project.

                The most effective, efficient and versatile management skill is the project management, why project management? Because

1. Every process such as business can be seen as project which undergoes the various project management processes for it to be successful

2. project management involves a lot of other management skills like communication management, risk management and more.

                What is a project? it can be said to be a temporary endeavor  that is carefully planned to achieve a particular aim. Therefore we can say that building relationships can also be seen as managing a project to achieve a particular aim or project management practice due to the fact that the relationship building process and the project management process are similar
