Q1. What is a project? What are diff. phases of project management? Discuss each phase briefly.

A1. A project is a series of related a tasks which when they are carried in the correct order will lead to the completion of the project. Projects are
temporary, generally resulting in the creation of a tangible product or outcome. This is as opposed to a programme, which is a series of
interrelated projects that may be carried out repeatedly or continuously in order to support an ongoing process.

A construction project, sometimes just referred to as a ‘project’, is the organized process of constructing, renovating, refurbishing, etc.
a building, structure or infrastructure. The project process typically starts with an overarching requirement which is developed through the
creation of a brief, feasibility studies, option studies, design, financing and construction.
