What is a Project?
Projects are unique, transient endeavours undertaken to achieve a desired
outcome.

The definition of a project identifies two of the key features:

Uniqueness
Projects are separate to business-as-usual activities, requiring people to come
together temporarily to focus on specific project objectives. As a result, effective
teamwork is central to successful projects.

Transience
A project has a specific start and end point and is set up to meet specific
objectives, to create a specified result, product or service.

cargo ship.
