Effective project management can be done by two ways sequential and parallel activities. In sequential activities one step follows another. The first step must be done before the second can be started. The second step must be completed before the third can be started, and so on. These are also called dependent activities. One step depends on the successful completion of another. This is a main point to remember in managing a project of any size. Parallel or concurrent activities can be worked on at the same time, separate and apart from other activities. For example, if you are planning a new ERP system, you could be evaluating some vendor at the same time and also your ERP preparation simultaneously.

The bigger the project, the more people and the more specialists in different areas, will be required to carry it through to successful completion of the project.
