A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product
(service, or result). The temporary nature of projects indicates a definite
beginning and end.

Characteristics of a project ANRVS
A definite start and a finish A
Unique onetime Ness
Involvement of several people (stakeholders).
Limited set of resources
A time frame for completion
Sequencing of activities and phases
No practice/rehearsals
Changes are not uncommon
High level of subcontracting
Risk and uncertainty exists
Project Categories

Building construction- include residential and commercial complexes educational and recreational
facilities, hospitals & hotels, warehouses and marketing facilities. Buildings constitute largest segment
of construction business.

Infrastructure construction- Capital intensive and heavy equipment oriented works which involve
movement of large quantity of bulk materials like earth steel and concrete.

Industrial construction – construction of manufacturing , processing and industrial plants .

Special purpose projects- environmental works, emergencies, remedial works

Project classification

Project completion time basis – long, medium, short, special short-term projects

Project value basis – mega, large, medium, small value
Project life cycle/ stages of a project ANRVS
A
The project life cycle includes the steps required for project managers to successfully
manage a project from start to finish. There are 5 phases to the project life cycle (also
called the 5 process groups)
Initiating Phase includes working on the following
• Business case
• Project scope
• Deliverables
• Objectives
• Resources needed
• Milestone plan and timeline
• Cost estimate
• Risks and issues
• Dependencies
Planning (covered in later topics)
Executing
Monitoring & controlling (covered in later topics)

Closing of the project is incomplete without these


• Delivering the project
• Hosting a post handover snag list check meeting
• Archiving project records
• Acknowledging the achievement
• Officially disolving or releasing the team
