In your business you have a number of projects that you need to accomplish, I was watching a webinar that broke out some details regarding “projects. It got me thinking about mine in a slightly more organized fashion.
A “Project” is an individual or collaborative enterprise that is carefully planned to achieve a particular aim.
What makes a project:
- Scope
- Schedule
- Resources
These components are balanced, a change in one will affect the others.
A project is also broken into phases:
- Initiation
- Planning
- Execution
- Closing
Spelling out that a process or a program are not projects. I agree but initializing a process or a program starts with a project. Once implemented they are no longer projects.
