 According to PMI ( Project Management Institute), Project is

“a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique

product or service.”
 Project
 Temporary means that every project has a definite end.
• The end is reached:
• When the project’s objectives have been achieved, or
• When it becomes clear that the project objectives will not or cannot be
met and the project is terminated.
• Temporary does not necessarily mean short in duration:
• Many projects last for several years.
 Unique means that the product or service is different in some
distinguishing way from all similar products or services.

– To ensure performance and Quality
– Remain within the allocated budget
– Ensure completion of project within stipulated time frame.
