A project is a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service.努力

Every project has a definite beginning and a definite end.

1.2.1 temporary

Temporary does not necessarily mean short in duration.

Projects may often have intended or unintended social,economic and environment impacts that far outlast the projects themselves.项目很可能会有意无意的对社会，经济或环境产生比他们自己的持续时间长的多的影响。

The project team, as a team, seldom outlives the project, most project are performed by a team that are created for the sole purpose of performing the project, and the team is disbanded when the project is complete.解散

1.2.2 Unique product, service or result

The presence of repetitive elements does not change the fundamental uniqueness of the project work. For example: A project to bring a new drug to market may require thousands of doses of the drug to support clinical trials. 临床试验

1.2.3 Progressive elaboration
