General Principles of Project Risk Management
摘要
Definitions of a project vary depending on the field or discipline. Generally, a project is considered a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. According to this definition, a project is not an ongoing operation but a temporary effort with specific start and finish dates, producing unique outcomes. These outcomes can range from products and services to distinct results. A project’s purpose is to achieve specific goals and objectives, which can vary widely—from improving processes to developing new products or services. This differentiates projects from routine operational activities, which often produce repetitive outputs.
