In addition to organizations and teams, project management knowledge and tools are beneficial for some people:
- Freelancers:
A freelancer is self-employed and not necessarily committed to a particular employer long-term.
- Faculty members of universities and researchers:
Faculty members and researchers also usually perform various activities such as conducting research projects, writing books, holding educational workshops, and teaching. Most of these are project in nature.
- Experts who value their time:
Even though these people are not under the pressure of their organization, they want to manage their time.
Challenges of Freelancers in Time Management
- Lack of control over how to spend time results in wasting time by time thieves.
- Improper planning of current works, so breaking promises regarding the delivery date of the subsequent work.
- Failure to track the time spent on the work results in errors in estimating the cost and time of the work.
- The lack of a clear plan makes it impossible to make timely and correct decisions when unforeseen events occur.
