MULTIPLE SELECT QUESTION

A group of related tasks
Temporary in nature
Operational activities
Reworking of an existing project
Creation of a unique product or service
Answer explanation
A project can be summarized as having the following properties:
It is temporary in nature,
it creates a unique product or service,
it has a definite start and finish,
it contains a reason/purpose,
and it may be part of a program or portfolio.
A group of related tasks is not necessarily a project but could be a to-do list of any kind.
Operational activities are activities that take place after a project has been completed.
Reworking an existing project is not ere-ating a new product or service, and it doesn't meet the properties of a project.
