Working in Projects
At some point, almost everyone encounters projects as a work format – whether in school, organizations, or more frequently, at work. In fact, approximately 40% of all work in organizations, both in private companies and the public sector, is conducted through projects. This makes “working in projects” a common phrase. Yet, few people understand what truly distinguishes projects from other work methods. Why do we work in projects, and more importantly, how can we work effectively in projects? These are questions with answers that are not always obvious.
