Today I will explain what is contract management. Contract management is creating, executing, and overseeing contracts to ensure that parties involved in the agreement meet their obligations and maximize the contract's benefits. It involves the entire lifecycle of a contract, from drafting and negotiation to execution, compliance monitoring, and, if necessary, renewal or termination. The primary goals of contract management are to: - Mitigate risks by ensuring compliance with legal and contractual terms. - Ensure proper execution of all agreed terms. - Monitor performance to achieve intended outcomes. - Handle changes or amendments efficiently if needed.
