Introduction
▸ Project execution is the most noticed process group ▸ Research shows that without a doubt, the main reason CEOs failed was poor execution; the same is true for project managers ▸ Recall that, in general, the majority of a project’s time and budget is spent on project execution ▸ Many of the tasks and outputs created in the other process groups are fairly similar from project to project, but no two projects are ever executed in the exact same way due to uncertainties and unique challenges
