Project coordination is the organizational practice of synchronizing activities, resources, dependencies, and stakeholder communication to deliver project outcomes on time and within budget. Rooted in traditional project management methodologies like Critical Path Method (CPM) and modern agile frameworks, coordination sits at the intersection of planning, tracking, and team alignment.
