Which of the following is a characteristic that defines a project?

Answer options

• A. Will produce a profit
• B. Uses outside resources
• C. Requires a well-defined scope
• D. Has a defined start and finish

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, highlights that a project is temporary and has a specific start and end date, which is essential for defining its scope and objectives. Options A and B may be true for some projects but are not defining characteristics. Option C, while important, is not as critical as the defined timeline that a project must have.
