Project management is a strategic competency that allows large organizations to execute new projects, implement strategic change, and recapture the performance of small teams. As organizations grew in the 20th century, decision-making became more diffuse and siloed. Project management provides a framework to identify requirements, establish objectives, and deliver results on time and on budget across stakeholders.

In India, companies like Infosys, Reliance, and Delhi Metro have benefited from using project management as a strategic approach.
