PROJECT
• We encounter projects in our everyday lives
—in business and at home. Think about
projects for a minute: at work you might be
building or contributing to a deliverable
(like a report, a website, a tool or product,
or even a building), and at home you might
be making a meal, planning a vacation, or
even working on upgrades to your home.
PROJECT
• These—and many other examples—are true
projects that have a defined start and end
date, a goal, a scope, and resources. And,
they all require some level of management.
PROJECT
• A project is an activity that :
• is temporary having a start and end date
• is unique
• brings about change
• has unknown elements, which therefore
create risk
• Generally projects are formed to solve a problem
or take advantage of an opportunity.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
PROJECTS
• A project contains a well defined objective. The
project objective is defined in terms of scope ( or
requirements), schedule, and cost.
• A project is carried out via a set of interdependent
tasks.

quickly eliminated and the project is
delivered on time, all the while making
sure everyone knows what is happening
and the project quality and budget are
acceptable
• Initiation phase of the project is the most
important phase. The success of the entire
project depends on how clearly and completely
the Terms of References are established.
