A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and resources. And a project is unique in that it is not a routine operation, but a specific set of operations designed to accomplish a singular goal. So a project team often includes people who don't usually work together – sometimes from different functional areas and across multiple geographies. Note: Project(s) typically associated with this level have a somewhat narrow scope/impact on the organization, include a limited number of staff devoted to the project (usually), are small to moderate sized projects, and have a limited budget to complete the project.
