Many of the processes involved in formal project management are useful just about everywhere. For instance, I am working on developing some training material right now and guess what I've been using to structure my approach to it? A WBS! I agree completely Ron.

I could spend a lot of time describing some of the instances over the years where people have anted the cast iron answer to whether this is or is not a project!! I suggest to people that there are clear projects in all organizations. I also mention the fact that there are lots of grey areas - see Dr Paul above - areas that may/may not be projects. I overcome this by suggesting that a project management approach is appropriate in all work and mention a study by one of the water companies who showed over here in the UK that using some of the tools of project management helped deliver business as usual much quicker....bottom line; why worry what is/is not a project, use project management tools and techniques to help you deliver.
