Conclusions and Recommendations
The most useful classification of types of project is by the product
of the project. This paper presents a list of nine different types, which should
be expanded as knowledgeable people contribute more ideas. The profession should
adopt this breakdown as a basic segmentation of the Project Management business
and use it in a number of different ways such as the organizing of breakout of
tracks at annual conferences.
The list of projects and their different attributes (see Appendix)
needs to be worked on and agreed. Interest groups for each of these types of
project should expand the sketchy descriptions presented in this paper. These
expansions should be derived from the direct group's knowledge of the nature
of their respective projects and their experience of the best, most successful,
approaches.
