Project management encompasses the planning, execution, and oversight of a project to achieve specific goals within defined constraints, such as time, budget, and resources. It involves coordinating various activities and stakeholders to ensure that project objectives are met efficiently and effectively. Key components include defining project scope, managing risks, and ensuring quality control throughout the project lifecycle. Ultimately, successful project management leads to the timely delivery of results that meet or exceed stakeholder expectations.

What is A measure of output for any given project task is called?

A measure of output for any given project task is called a "deliverable."

They can include reports, software, designs, or other specific outcomes that fulfill project requirements.

What does it mean if the estimated and actual project cost are different?

It means that your project has gone over its budget. When planning a project, a project manager must estimate things such as cost, time and effort and these estimates will get written into a plan which gets approved by those with authority. The project manager then proceeds to get the work done within these constraints of cost and time. However, projects never go according to plan. There are always things which take longer than planned, or cost more than planned. It's good practise for the project manager to track costs and time during the project and to update the plan with "actuals" IE. the actual costs, effort and time taken. These can vary considerably from what was originally forecast (IE. estimated) and the project manager will then adjust the plan according to the actual cost, time and effort and the new forecasts for the remaining effort, cost and time. Ideally the revised plan also needs to get approved, especially if the revised forecasts show they will exceed the original forecasts. If the revised plan does not get approved, the project should close because it's no longer worthwhile to continue.
