What is a Project?
A project is a temporary endeavor designed to produce a unique
product, service, or result with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and
often constrained by funding or staffing) undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives,
typically to bring about beneficial change or added value. The temporary nature of projects
stands in contrast with business as usual (or operations), which are repetitive, permanent,
or semi-permanent functional activities to produce products or services.
What is Project Management?
Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to
project activities to meet the project requirements. Effective project management helps
individuals, groups, and public and private organizations to:
- Meet business objectives.
- Satisfy stakeholder expectations.
- Be more predictable.
- Increase chances of success.
- Resolve problems and issues.
- Respond to risks in a timely manner.
- Optimize the use of organizational resources.
