Implementation of the project management phases in volunteer student NGOs: The case of BEST
From apppm
Abstract:
Project management techniques and methods have been broadly developed for the past decades, mostly focusing on the private sector though. One of the most popular theories, divide projects in 5 phases, also called process groups: Initiation, Planning, Execution, Controlling and Closing. This wiki page will present the characteristics of each phase and will analyse the case of an international volunteer NGO, BEST. How is the volunteering nature of the organisation affecting these phases and what are the improving points in each one of them? Such questions will be addressed, providing the base for future research on this case.
