    This document discusses the key differences between projects and business as usual operations. Projects have clearly defined resource constraints and performance specifications from the beginning, while business as usual can have some ambiguity. Projects also require employees to work in cross-functional teams, unlike business as usual where workers typically perform similar tasks in the same location. The scope of a project is very important and specifies what is and is not included in the project. Many projects fail due to changes in project scope, which can significantly alter the project.

    Introduction to PM

    Difference between Project and Business as Usual (BAU)


    For a project, resource constraints and performance specifications are clearly mentioned in the beginning. There cannot be any ambiguity In Project Approach, employees are required to work in teams (more like Group Technology layout). IN BAU workers generally work in Job shop layout (all similar tasks are grouped in a single cell/location)

    Project Scope
    IN a project, Project Scope is very important. It specifies:
    Whats expected from the project Whats not offered by the project (This is very important but often ignored) Most projects go wrong because of changes to Project scope which results in significant changes in the project
