ABSTRACT
The origin of any project is the recognition/identification that a need, a want, a new or expanded market, or an opportunity exists. There is a reason for undertaking the project as a means of getting to an end-product (product, facility, asset, service, …). The source may be variously:
An organisation's strategic plan.
Market research.
Opportunity studies.
Prior obsolescence.
Political input.
Tendering.
etc.
