- Abstract
This is the first of a series of four working/discussion papers on categorizing projects and programs. The context of these papers is overall categorizations as they have appeared in the literature. These currently vary widely, and this series is concerned with exploring possibilities for bringing them closer together. The aim is to stimulate discussion and to encourage feedback, which might hopefully lead to the development of more widely acceptable and accepted categorizations. This first paper focuses on project categorizations, most of which are found to be a mixture of industrial/ social sectors (Application Sectors) in which projects are undertaken (e.g. aerospace, defence), and types of projects (Project Types) which are undertaken in many, if not most, of these Application Sectors (e.g. IT, R&D). The components of a recent project categorization are re-allocated into these two categories, and presented as a matrix which illustrates the intersections between Project Types and the various Application Sectors in which they are undertaken. The paper goes on to discuss the five key Project Types which have emerged so far.
