What are Project Outcomes? And how are they different from outputs or objectives?

The video tutorial explains the differences between key project management terms such as products, deliverables, outputs, objectives, and outcomes. It uses the example of building a children's playground to illustrate how deliverables like swings and slides are not the ultimate goal, but rather the outcomes such as happy and socializing children. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of setting outcome-based objectives to ensure that projects meet their intended goals and purposes.

What is the primary difference between a deliverable and an outcome in project management?

• A deliverable and an outcome are the same in project management.

• A deliverable is always more important than an outcome.

• A deliverable is a change, while an outcome is a tangible result.

• A deliverable is a tangible result, while an outcome is a change resulting from it.

In the playground example, what is considered an outcome?

• The swing and slide

• The roundabout

• The playground's location

• Happy and socializing children

Why is it important to focus on outcomes rather than just deliverables?

• Outcomes ensure the project meets its intended purpose.

• Deliverables are always more expensive.

• Outcomes are easier to measure.

• Deliverables are not necessary for project success.

What are the traditional objectives set by project managers?

• Time, cost, and quality

• Location, design, and budget

• Outcome, deliverable, and product

• Safety, color, and size

How do outcome-based objectives benefit project management?

• They ensure products meet the project's intended goals.

• They reduce the project's overall cost.

• They eliminate the need for a project manager.

• They focus solely on the deliverables.
