Answer

A project is a construction effort with a defined start and end date with specific goals and objectives that, when obtained, signify completion of the project. A project group is a group of related construction projects that provide your organization with benefits from managing projects as a group, over managing projects individually. There are countless ways to organise your company's projects into project groups, such as:

  • Region. For example, you might create project groups for the four (4) regions of the U.S., such as 'Northeast', 'Midwest', 'South', and 'West.'
  • Sector. For example, you might create project groups for the different construction sectors, such as 'Buildings', 'Infrastructure', and 'Industrial.'
  • Project Management. For example, you might create project groups for 'Internal Projects' and 'External Projects'.
