A project has:
1. an aim and a set of objectives
• The aim is expressed in a sentence or two
• Objectives are a number of measurable and achievable targets where the success and failure is measured.

2. a methodology for a systematic approach to achieving each objective. The terms of reference are:
• The Acquisition of sufficient knowledge about the subject
(research)
• The Design the technical and scientific strategy, plan and layout
• The Implementation the systematic approach to turning a design
into reality e.g. tangible product or service
• The validation & verification of the results of the implementation
