What is a Project?
A project refers to a temporary endeavor and sequence of connected tasks that aim to reach a series of business objectives and either create something unique or change an existing product, service, or organization. Projects can be either simple or complex and can be managed by one person or hundreds of people. Projects are typically managed by a project manager or executive.
