  2. What is project? • Planned Activity • Some internet definitions • “an individual or collaborative enterprise that is carefully planned to achieve a particular aim.”

  3.  Planned from beginning to end; Bounded by time, resources, & required results. • A project is a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. The temporary nature of projects indicates a definite beginning and end. The end is reached when the project’s objectives have been achieved or when the project is terminated because its objectives will not or cannot be met, or when the need for the project no longer exists. Temporary does not necessarily mean short in duration. Temporary does not generally apply to the product, service, or result created by the project; most projects are undertaken to create a lasting outcome. For example, a project to build a national monument will create a result expected to last centuries. Projects can also have social, economic, and environmental impacts that far outlast the projects themselves.

  10. Flexibility • The ease with which software projects can be changed is usually seen as one of its strengths.
