We are projects...

Here is a definition of the term 'Project Management'.

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

A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and resources.

When we were born we were either planned by our parents or we came into existence unplanned. We had a defined beginning time and when our life comes to an end, we have an end time. We are here on a temporary basis. No one lives forever. During our time on earth it is up to us to use our time and resources carefully and to the best of our abilities. Our accomplishments can have an impact on the world. We can leave our mark on the world. There will be many people we have influenced in a positive way during the course of our lives. In the diagram above, you will see the term 'resources'. There are virtually infinite resources that are available for ourselves to make use of. Our memories can be considered a resource too. We can learn from the past. I will write more about resources category in future posts.
