 DISTINGUISHING PROJECTS FROM NON – PROJECTS / SERVICES
PROJECTS
1. Specific life cycle
2. Definite start and completion
points with calendar dates
3. Can be abruptly terminated if
goals are not met; always
terminated when the project is
completed.
4. Often unique; not done before;
not repeated when completed
5. Total effort must be completed
within fixed budget & schedule.
6. Prediction of ultimate time &
cost is difficult.
NON – PROJECTS
1. Continuous life from year to year
2. No specific event tied to calendar
dates other than fiscal year budgets
3. Assured of continuous function even
in a major reorganization.
4. Usually involves performance of well-
established functions and tasks are
only slightly different from past efforts.
5. Maximum work is performed within the
annual budget ceiling.
6. Prediction of annual expenditure is
relatively simple.

implemented by national government agencies

province, city, municipality and barangay have
their respective scopes and functions.
