Project Characteristics
Temporary,
Unique: product, service or
result,
Progressively elaborated:
Moving From the Unknown to
the Known.
Project definition
A project is a temporary endeavor
undertaken to create a unique product, service,
or result.
*This definition is taken from the Glossary of the Project Management Institute, A Guide to the Project Management
Body of Knowledge, (PMBOK® Guide) – Fifth Edition, Project Management Institute, Inc., 2013
A project can create:
1. A product that can be either a component of another item, an
enhancement of an item, or an end item in itself;
2. A service or a capability to perform a service (e.g., a business
function that supports production or distribution);
3. An improvement in the existing product or service lines (e.g., A
Six Sigma project undertaken to reduce defects); or
4. A result, such as an outcome or document (e.g., a research project
that develops knowledge that can be used to determine whether a
trend exists or a new process will benefit society).

What is Project Management?
Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and
techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements. Project
management is accomplished through the appropriate application and
integration of the 47 logically grouped project management processes,
which are categorized into five Process Groups. These five Process
Groups are:
1. Initiating,
2. Planning,
3. Executing,
4. Monitoring and Controlling, and
5. Closing.
