The Projects and project management operate in an environment broader than that of the project itself. The project management team must understand this broader context—managing the day-to-day activities of the project is necessary for success but not sufficient. This chapter describes key aspects of the project management context not covered elsewhere in this document. The topics include here are:

	Project Phases and the Project Life Cycle
	Project Stakeholders
	Organizational Influences
	Key General Management Skills
	Social-Economic-Environmental Influence
