Project

A project is a coordinated, collaborative effort to create a new product or service or to deliver outcomes stated in the Project Vision Statement, carried out within limits such as time, cost, scope, quality, team capacity, and organizational capabilities.

Key Points

  • Temporary endeavor with a defined start and finish.
  • Delivers unique outputs aligned to the Project Vision Statement.
  • Constrained by time, cost, scope, quality, people, and organizational capability.
  • Requires stakeholder collaboration and trade-offs among competing constraints.

Example

A company forms a cross-functional team to launch a new mobile app in four months, with a fixed budget, specified feature set, quality targets, and defined performance metrics. The effort ends when the app is released and objectives are met.
