Here's a tip

Project management can mean using some specific terminology. Here we're going to learn the essentials to help you when you are managing or involved in a project. Qui est le chef de projet ? (Who is the project manager?) Il existe de bonnes raisons commerciales pour agir ainsi. (There is a good business case for doing this.) Voici un plan de projet et un planning prévisionnel. ( Here is a rough project plan and timeline.)

Here are a few common workplace expressions that include the word "project". We frequently use these words when talking about managing a project. Voici un plan de projet et un planning prévisionnel. ( Here is a rough project plan and timeline.) Qui est le chef de projet ? (Who is the project manager?)

Have another look at the words we've learned. gérer (to manage) le projet (the project) le plan de projet / le chef de projet (project plan / project manager) l'analyse de rentabilité (the business case) les intervenants (stakeholders) approuver (to approve) le document (the document)
