ABSTRACT

What is a project? A simple question with a not-so-simple answer. The response that you receive will depend on the person being asked and the industry with which he or she is familiar. A project can be defined as a collection of both human and financial resources that are focused on the achievement of a specific set of goals and objectives. Others may see a project as the opportunity to produce a new product or provide a new service that must meet predetermined specifications and standards. This effort must be completed within an established set of parameters that include a fixed time, a defined budget, available assets, and limited human resources.
