Effective Notes for Project Management Professionals:
Now the question arises What is Project?
Any Temporary Endeavour or for a small time period we do some work with a beginning and
end, and it must be used to create a unique product, service or result.
Project has following characteristics:
• A series of task completed to reach a specific outcome under given constraints.
• A project cannot continue forever.
• This is not like an operation.
• In a project no same activities are performed every time for same output.
So, for Example: Designing of any car or product is a project, but manufacturing of that product
in a production line is an operation.
What is Operation?
It is an ongoing activity that produces repetitive and long-term outputs.
For Example: Manufacturing of products, supplying services, sale services etc.
Some characteristics of Operation:
• It is an ongoing work effort.
• In operation we perform repetitive tasks.
• The objective is to sustain business.
• Once the objective is reached, adopt a new set of objectives and continue the work.
