    The purpose of this discipline is to: &amp;nbsp;&#xD;
&lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Encourage stakeholder&amp;nbsp;consensus on prioritizing the sequence of work&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &#xD;
  &lt;li> Stimulate team collaboration on creating long-term and short-term plans &#xD;
    for the project. &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Focus the team on continually delivering tested software for stakeholder evaluation&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Help create an effective working environment to maximize team productivity&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &#xD;
  &lt;li> Keep stakeholders and the team informed of project progress &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Provide a framework to manage project risk and continually adapt to change&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul>&#xD;
&lt;p> Project Management is an umbrella discipline that impacts, and is impacted &#xD;
  by, all other disciplines. Project management activities add value to creating &#xD;
  a high-performance work environment where: &lt;/p>&#xD;
&lt;ul>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Stakeholders trust in the team's ability to successfully deliver value and understand the capabilities and&#xD;
        tradeoffs of the technical platform&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
    &lt;li>&#xD;
        Project team members understand stakeholder intentions and confirm that understanding by continually producing a&#xD;
        working software product for evaluation&lt;br />&#xD;
    &lt;/li>&#xD;
&lt;/ul></mainDescription>
