Project Management · Level 1 of 5 · Intro

# What a project is

Projects versus operations, the triple constraint, and roles.

## Study notes

1. A project is temporary work with a defined start and end that creates a unique result. Operations are ongoing, repeated work.
1. The classic triple constraint is scope, time, and cost, which together affect quality. Changing one usually affects the others.
1. The project sponsor funds and champions the project. The project manager plans and coordinates the work. Stakeholders are anyone affected.
1. A project charter authorizes the project and states its goals, scope, sponsor, and high-level budget and timeline.
1. Success criteria should be agreed at the start so everyone knows what done looks like.
