It should be noted that the project idea concerns all possible actions from the moment they are carried out together for a common goal and that it is necessary to share the work while respecting time, qualitative and financial constraints. From this perspective, management by project is a transversal tool which makes it possible to know how to prepare, organise, plan and monitor the work to be carried out rigorously and limiting as much as possible the delays, additional costs and the risks inherent in any complex action.
