Context: This describes the context in which the project is executed. Ex: not able to find required skilled resources.

Project work vs. Operational Work

•	The work that organizations do on a day-to-day basis is either operational work or project work. •	Operational work is ongoing and repetitive. Its purpose is to keep a business going. The objectives for this type of work may change frequently. •	Project work is temporary, unique, and finished when specific objectives have been met.
