Project: Definition

Any task that is performed to meet certain goals can be a project, either it be a research, service or production. The project is defined in various ways:

• According to Project Management Institute (PMI) (2000), a project is "a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result."

• According to Oberlender (2014), "a project is an endeavor that is undertaken to produce the results that are expected from the resulting party".
