INTRODUCTION The application of information, expertise, tools, and procedures to project activities to meet the project requirements is known as project management (PMBOK 2008). Alternatively, project management is the process in which projects are well-defined, planned, supervised, organized and conveyed such that the agreed features and requirements are fulfilled (APM BOK 2006). Success of IT projects is very much dependent on providing the anticipated product at the projected time, within budget, its desired performance levels, acknowledged by the client, offering at least the minimum agreed functionality i.e. meeting customer satisfaction, and delivering the promised benefits (Dalcher and Brodie, 2007).

They are in a position to know that the target he has selected is the most important by using CARVER acronym which stands for Criticality, Accessibility, Return (or Recuperability), Vulnerability, Effect, and Recognizability.
To organise for project management requires an understanding of the organisation’s architecture which includes the organisational hierarchy - the grouping of internal business units, the authority lines and interaction with one another. Each of these aspects should be designed to support project management within the organisation. Structure should follow strategy or else it may impede communication, coordination and decision making which are all key to success (Brevis, 2014, p. 224). Hence, an important function of upper management is to support project teams by either redesigning the organisation to emphasize projects or integrating projects into the current organisation (Graham & Englund, 2004).

There are ways to prevent burnout and I believe that reevaluating priorities is an important step. Registered nurses and nursing student are prone to experience burnout. Therefore, reevaluating priorities would allow aspiring nurses and registered nurses to manage their time wisely by balancing their responsibilities at work and at school with activities that provide them pleasure. Also, nurses need to get enough sleep because being tired impairs memory, reduces alertness, and causes the nurse to think irrationally. Nurses should aim to exercise a few days a week for at least thirty minutes each day.
