Explain What You Consider Differentiates A Project From Day To Day Work Or 'business As Usual'.
Explain what you consider differentiates a project from day to day work or 'business as usual'.In addition, give a specific example of a multimedia project and explain why it would be a project and not 'business as usual.
Projects are not constant events, they start and finish and they change; while if you have “business as usual” than you don’t change anything and you have a constant workflow. A Project is usually over a longer time and not only for one or two days. You may start a project because you want to solve a problem or you see a possibility to make more money or to get more customers with it.
We use the word project frequently in everyday language. We may have a weekend project that involves painting the house, building a house or putting a staff out of garage. Whether the project is an activity around the house, a satisfaction activity or a job connected activity, they all have common features.
Almost any human activity that involves carrying out a non-repetitive task can be a project. But there is a big difference between carrying out a very simple project involving one or two people and one involving a complex mix of people, organisations and tasks.
A project can be captured on paper with a few simple elements: a start date, an end date, the tasks that have to be carried out and when they should be finished, and some idea of the resources that will be needed during the course of the project.
By involve different things happening at different time, plus resources required at different times and in different quantities and maybe working at different rates the paper plan could start to be vast and unreadable.
Most people still want their projects to be on time, meet quality objectives, and not cost more than the budget. These form the classic time, quality, cost triangle.
In fact if you have an unlimited budget and unlimited time, project management becomes rather easy. For most people, however, time and money are critical and that is what makes project management so important today.
Making new web site for a client would be a multimedia project because is a not constant events, instead answer the phone in your office would be day to day work.
