**Projects are time-bound sequences of tasks to achieve a goal and deliver value.** There are a few different definitions of `project` you could use, they all more or less say the same thing. They all agree though that [[Projects and Areas are Different]]. ## Per [[PARA Method]]: A project is a series of actions to take to accomplish some sort of goal. Projects are **completable**. They are associated with one or more specific action-oriented goals, with associated **timeframes**. They can be broken down into smaller tasks, goals, and/or milestones. ([[Project Decomposition]]) ## Per [[Getting Things Done The Art of Stress-Free Productivity]] Per the book a project is: > any desired result that can be accomplished within a year that requires more than one action step. ## Per Me My soft definition of project is anything that makes it into my [[Project Lists]], which means it’s something big enough to need some sort of lifecycle management on and worth keeping [[Note Types#Project Notes]] about (because I don’t keep [[Tasks Records]] outside of projects). ### Source - [[PARA Method]] - [[Getting Things Done The Art of Stress-Free Productivity]] ### Related - [[Defining Area ]] - [[Defining Actions & Tasks ]] - [[OKRs]] - [[Project Decomposition]] - [[Note Types]] - [[Obsidian for Projects]] - [[Tasks Records]]
