5. What is Project Management?
what is a project?
A project is temporary in that it has a defined
beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope
and resources.
And a project is unique in that it is not a routine
operation, but a specific set of operations designed to
accomplish a singular goal. So a project team often
includes people who don’t usually work together –
sometimes from different organizations and across
multiple geographies.
