activities having one goal or purpose that must be
completed by a specific time, wthin budget and according to
specification
• A project is a complex, nonroutine, one-time effort limited
by time, budget, resources, and performance specifications
designed to meet customer needs
• Projects are ad hoc, resource-consuming activities used to
implement organizational strategies, achieve enterprise
goals and objectives, and contribute to the realization of the
enterprise‘s mission
A project is a temporary endeavor
undertaken to create a unique

A Project can Create
• A product that can be either a component of
another item or an end item in itself.
• A capability to perform a service(e.g., a
business function that supports production or
distribution).
• A result such as an outcome or a document
(e.g., a research project that develops
knowledge that can be used to determine
whether a trend is present or a new process
will benefit society).
Main features of a Project - Revision
• It is a temporary endeavor undertaken.
• To create a unique product, service or result
• Temporary, therefore, has a start and an end
• End is reached when
– Objectives have been achieved
– When objectives will not or cannot be met
