Ep35 What is a business project

The dictionary definition of a business project is:

“an individual or collaborative enterprise that is carefully planned to achieve a particular aim”

In this episode, Jeanette discusses her definition of a business project.  She believes a business project is the change vehicle to achieve a goal.

A project has a set period of time, a sequence of tasks, involving people with different skills working collaboratively, to achieve a great result.

Have you heard the saying “a goal without a plan is just a wish”?

All business projects must have a plan that integrates the three business pillars – people, process and technology.

When planning and implementing a project all of these components must be considered:

• Scope
• Deliverables
• Budget
• Resources
• Timeline
• Risk and issue management
• Communication
• Documentation

In future episodes, Jeanette and her guests will discuss the different types of business projects.  We’ll also find out how they go about planning and implementing change.
