Projects are different from other ongoing operations in an organization, because unlike operations, projects have a definite beginning and an end - they have a limited duration. Projects are critical to the realization of performing organization's business strategy because projects are a means by which the strategy of the company is implemented. Projects also involve one or more elements that have not been done in the past, and are therefore unique. A product or service may be unique even if the category to which it belongs is large. For example, although several residential complexes have been built in the past, creation of a new house will be a project because each facility can have elements such as a unique - location, customized or adapted design, regionally available resources, and/or discrete owners

Muutus ehk projekti eesmärk võib olla ka mingi uus toode või teenus. Projekt piiritletakse muudatuse enda (tulem), aja, ressursside, rahaliste piirangute ja kvaliteedinõuete raames. Ajutine tähendab seda, et igal projektil on kindel algus ja lõpptähtaeg. Muudatuse saavutamiseks projekti kujul peab see olema piisavalt suur, et selleks ajaks on mõistlik määratleda ajutine ja eriline juhtimise struktuur. Unikaalsus väljendub selles, et projektiga loodav muudatus on antud tingimustel ühekordne, loodav toode või teenus eristub pikaajaliselt olemasolevatest toodetest, teenustest ja investeeringutest. Projekte juhivad selleks projekti omaniku poolt määratud juht või juhtimismeeskond, kelle kasutuses on piiratud ressurssid ja projekti tegevusi plaanitakse, viiakse täide ja kontrollitakse eristudes nii ühekordsetest tegevustest. Projektid on sageli oluliseks komponendiks organisatsioonide äristrateegias ja see on organisatsiooni otsus, kas tööde korraldamisel kasutatakse projektipõhist lähenemist

Temporary means that every project has a definite beginning and a definite ending. Unique means that the product or service is different in some distinguishing way from existing products and services. Projects are run by people, constrained by limited resources, and planned, executed and controlled. Projects are often critical components of the performing organisations’ business strategy.
The impact of projects and project management on our society will increase. Almost 40% in every we do (in time and money) is project management related.
