These projects are carried out by an establishment to not just resolve its organisational dares, but human and master technical challenges as well. Defined as procedures which are planned to meet project requirements by covering different sections suchlike tools, skills, knowledge, along with project activities (PMI, 2017), the project management is carried out in four stages during the life cycle of a project: commencing project, designing project, implementing project, and concluding project.
QA Higher Education associating with five universities empowers it to provide an extent of higher educational schemes for more than 5,000 undergraduates in around 120 distinct set of lectures.
