A project is a temporary endeavor outside of routine operations that has a beginning and end with defined scope and resources. Often projects span over departments and people who may not normally work together. Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements with a goal to deliver the project on-time and on-budget.
