Projects have become an indispensable part of everyday working life. Both companies and public institutions implement many plans in projects that require the interdisciplinary, cross-departmental participation of employees. Not everyone involved in a project has to be a project management expert. However, knowledge of the basic terms, methodologies and tools makes it easier to participate in projects, simplifies communication and promotes the prospects of success.
