.....Insert Your Encoded Adsense Code here.....

To put projects into irrespective, you need a definition, most of the time we call any work a project, but Projects actually have a very specific definition. if a set of tasks or work to be done does not meet the strict definition, then it cannot be called a project.

Project is a sequence of unique, complex and connected activities having one or purpose and that must be completed by a specific time, budget and according to a specification.

Unique activities : the project must unique in nature, a project has never happened before and it will never happen again under the same condition, something is always different each time the activities of projet are repeated.. such as a part is delayed, someone is sick , a power failure occurs, these are random events that can happen but we are not sure when, how and with what impact these event will happen.

Complex activities:the activities that can make up the project are not simple, repetitive acts, such as mowing the lawn, painting the house m washing the car, or the loading the delivery truck, they are complex. for example, designing an intuitive user interface to an application system is a complex activity

Connected activities: connectedness implies that there is a logical or technical relationship between pairs of activities. there is an order to the sequence in which the activities that make the project must be completed. they are considered connected because the output  from one activity is he input to another .for example we must design the computer program before we can program it.

One Goal: projects must have a single goal, for exapmle to design an inner-city play ground for Aid to dependent children families. how ever very large or complex projects may be divided into several sub projects, each of which is a projects on its own

Specified Time: projects have a specified completion date. this date can be self imposed by man engagement or externally specified by a customer or government agency.

Within budget: projects also have resource limits, such as limited amount of people, money or machines that are dedicated to the project,. while these resources can be adjusted up or down by management they are considered fixed resources to the project manager. For example, suppose a company has only one web designer a the moment that is the fixed resource that ia available to the project manager
