1. What is a project? (Objective #1-1, p. 4)
2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p

2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p


bound effort that has a definite beginning and a definite ending with several relate
2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p


d and/or interdependent tasks to create a unique product or service.

The broader answer is: A project is an endeavor that requires an organized set
2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p


of work efforts that are planned in a level of detail that is progressively elaborate
2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p

nd resources such as money and people. Projects should follow a planned and
2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p

2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p



erables. Each project typically has a unique combination of stakeholders people
2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2


pand groups who can impact the project or might be impacted by either the wor
2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p


k or results of the project. Projects often require a variety of people to work
2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p


together for a limited time, and each needs to understand that completing the p
2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p 2p
