Sheet 1 Solution

A project is defined as a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service that is planned, executed and controlled. The project manager has the most power in a project organization. Operational work is ongoing and repetitive, unlike project work which is temporary. A feature of projects is that they are constrained by limited resources. A program is a group of related projects managed in a coordinated way to obtain benefits not available from managing them individually. The difference between a project, program and portfolio is that a project has a beginning and end, a program includes other non-project work, and a portfolio includes all projects in a department.
