This conceptual framework is supported by extensive literature studies that provide representative syste

In these cases the work of the business is often undertaken through the delivery of individual projects, which can form part of larger programs and in the case of large organizations may reside within business units or divisions. The delivery of these projects occurs once a contract has been secured (or signed) and it is during this phase that projec t management beco
