the field of project management has a dirty little not-so-secret: Despite amazing technological advances, the majority of projects do not come in on time, on budget, and on scope. This leaves project managers grappling with software bugs and engineering issues on top of their daily plate of change requests, client issues, and also other project management curve balls.

A1. A project is a temporary and unique work effort with a beginning date and an end date that creates a product, service, or result. Here’s a little more detail on the key pieces of this definition:
- Temporary, with a beginning date and an end date. A project is planned to start on a certain date and complete on a deadline, unlike maintenance or operations work, which is ongoing or perpetual.
- Unique work effort. A team is assembled and commits to work on a specific goal, often under a contract.
- Creates a product, service, or result. The purpose of the project is to create something that didn’t exist before, often called the deliverable, which is turned over at completion to the customer (internal or external to the organization) who initiated the project.
