What is a project?

  1. A repetitive operation

  2. A temporary endeavor designed to produce a unique product, service, or result

  3. A permanent team within an organization

  4. A standard procedure in business

The correct answer is: A temporary endeavor designed to produce a unique product, service, or result

A A repetitive operation is a process that is done over and over again, with little to no variation. This is not a good definition for a project as projects are unique, one-time endeavors. C: A permanent team within an organization is a group of people who work together on an ongoing basis, which is not the same as a project, which has a defined start and end date. D: A standard procedure in business is a set of established guidelines for completing a task, but it is not the same as a project which involves specific goals and objectives. Projects are not standard procedures as they are temporary and produce unique results.
