    What is a Project?
    A Project is :
    a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a
    unique product or service or result. (PMI)
    a one-shot, time-limited, goal-directed, major
    undertaking requiring the commitment of
    varied skills and resources. (PMI)
    A Combination of human and non-human
    resources pooled together to achieve a
    specific purpose and deliverables.
    Project Characteristics
    Temporary (start, end, project team)
    Unique (Product, Service or Result)
    Completed (objectives, acceptance&
    Satisfaction)
    Progressive Elaboration
    Project variables and parameters (nature,
    size, budget, resources, complexity)
    Project Categories (small, medium, large)
    Source (PMI,2004)
    Project Examples
    Construction projects of various types as:
    Building projects (Residential as non residential), and Construction
    projects (dams, tunnels, and bridges, power plants and refineries)
    Engineering Projects:
    Product Development, Manufacturing, \construction, Design
    Engineering, Industrial Engineering, technology, production, or any
    other field that employs personnel who perform an engineering
    function.
    Research and development projects such as the Stealth fighter
    plan.
