• What is a Deliverable in the Project?

• All projects accomplish something. The "something" that they accomplish can be either a good or a service and is usually a combination of both. The individual items of goods or services that are accomplished are called the project deliverables. Tell me more It is reasonable to say that all projects must accomplish something, although those [...]

• What is the Project Charter?

• The project charter is the first document that exists in the project. It causes the project to come into existence. The project charter names the project and briefly describes it. It names the project manager and causes a cost account to be opened to capture the cost of the project. Once these essential things have [...]

It defines project management as "the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements." In the project management triangle we are concerned with the management of [...]

• Why do Organizations do Projects?

• This seems to be a simple question. You might say, "My organization does projects because it is in the business of doing projects." This is to an extent correct. A "temporary endeavor undertaken to provide a unique product or service" is a good definition of what is a normal business unit for many organizations that [...]

• What is a Project?

• "A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to provide a unique product or service." This is the definition from the 2000 edition of The Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) published by the Project Management Institute (PMI®).
