What is a Project?
A project is a temporary endeavour with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables), undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change or added value, carried out by people who don’t normally work together. A project is frequently risky and involving uncertainties. |
