A project is a series of tasks that need to be completed to reach a specific outcome within the scheduled time and budget.
Depending on the project size, it can range from simple to complex and can be managed by one person to hundreds.
For good project productivity, some teams break it up into individual tasks to manage accountability and utilize team strengths.
