Basics of project managementProject term
Projects are often difficult to define as such, as there are numerous definitions of the term project. In general
understanding, a project is a comprehensive undertaking to solve a complex problem. However, country-wide or
international standards such as DIN 69901 or ISO/TC 258 define the necessary characteristics of a project:
➢ Uniqueness of the conditions in their entirety
Each project is unique and is carried out in its own way for the first and last time
➢ Target
Every project has precise goals that need to be achieved
➢ Temporal, personnel, financial limitations
Each project has a specific deadline and limited usable resources
➢ Distinction from other projects
Each project is a self-contained project with its own project result
➢ Project-specific organization
Each project has its own specific organisational framework
In addition, the following features are considered characteristic of projects in business practice:
➢ Complexity
Each project takes into account numerous complex interrelationships
➢ Effort
Each project is extensive and requires many employees, as well as financial resources
➢ Interdisciplinary character
Each project involves experts with different fields of knowledge
➢ Teamwork
Every project requires the cooperation of all involved
These characteristics can be used to determine the extent to which a particular project is a project.
