Definition of a Project

Project - A temporary endeavor undertaken to

Temporary / Not Ongoing

- Definite beginning and end

- Does not mean a short duration

- Does not necessarily apply to product, service, or result created by a project

Unique

- Outcome is a unique deliverable

- Could come in the form of either products, services or results

Projects vs Operations

The primary differences are…

Purpose of the project is to attain its

objective and ends

Purpose of an ongoing operation is to

sustain the business

Ends with transition to operations Only ends with product, process or

service no longer needed Project team comes together at

beginning and disbands at end Team continues to perform tasks

Both Projects and Operations are…

• Performed by teams of people

• Achieved by means of work

• Constrained by limited resources

• Planned, executed, and controlled
