Define the characteristics used to define a project. Provide an example of a project and an example of a "non-project" from your current (or previous) job. Describe how your examples do or do not fit the characteristics of a project. (Manger of a video store) NOTE: Please, in the same vein as for the "Project Management" discussion, start right away participating with one another by reviewing each previous posting, seeing how the projects do or do not meet the characteristics - again, growing comfortable questioning for additional understanding. This is an optimal way to assure that you are learning the course material.
