Project management in a consulting context is the disciplined planning, execution and control of a defined piece of work — often strategic, tech or operational change — to deliver a stated scope on time and within budget. Consultants help define objectives, stakeholders, deliverables, schedule, risks and governance, then monitor progress through regular reporting and issue resolution. They put in place change control so scope creep doesn’t undermine outcomes, and they make sure dependencies between workstreams are managed. This is especially useful for organisations that run many projects in parallel and need a repeatable way to deliver. Effective project management increases the success rate of strategic initiatives and improves confidence with sponsors.
