“Operations are activities which are repeatable and do not have a specific start date and end date. Projects are, on the other hand, one time initiatives which are unique, and have a specific start date and end date.”

The link between these two statements?

Projects drive change. Projects bring something new to the organization.

An organization which is strong in selecting the right projects and executing them tightly will have a sustainable competitive advantage over those which do not have this capability.

This makes project managers in the organization very important as a stakeholder in the overall strategy of the organization.

Ergo, all project managers should be worshipped as Gods, or at least given raises.
