Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to a broad range of activities in order to meet the requirements of a particular project.

To help understand the nature of project management, and to emphasize the importance of its cycle, the Aadhaar development is explained here in detail.Aadhaar is India's biometric ID system, a database, which contains demographic information, home addresses of Indians, and Nandan Nilekani the Chairman of UIDAI - helped the government develop Aadhaar – one of the biggest social projects in the country.

Aadhaar is a classic project and will always remain a significant project to study for project practitioners. It is an important case study and benchmark for many other mega projects to show case that in spite of the complexity and magnitude, large projects can meet their original business goals and within the budget.

Developing a project management plan requires some foreknowledge as to what major components are involved. Nandan Nilekani on Aadhaar defines how the project was implemented, examined, and controlled. Basically, it summarizes everything that was involved in the Aadhaar project to make it easier for you to understand.

Organisations need to recognize there is no simple approach to delivering a thriving project. And a project such as Aadhaar helps other managers understand that by breaking complex goals into achievable targets the goal of even massive projects is achievable. Also, a lot of time needs to be spent on coalition building. Stakeholder management helps to solve the issues and problems in mega projects. Using data to manage a distributed architecture where there are multiple stakeholders is important. It is one the effective ways to bring accountability, transparency, scale, and visibility to the project.We hope that these and more learnings provided by Nandan Nilekani through the video series on Aadhaar will be a guiding light for managers working on large projects.
