Shirley's project definition

A project to me has a definate beginning and end.  It is something that it out of the ordinary to your everyday tasks and often will be a one off - sometimes it might be a trial project that if successful then becomes part of your normal work but at this point is no longer a poject.  It has set tasks and project milestones to ensure it is on track and meeting the objectives set.  It normally has a separate allocated budget and is measureable to ensure success or failure.
