問 44
- ア
正解 A project refers to an activity that has both a “finite duration” and “uniqueness.” In other words, it is a time-limited effort with a clear beginning and end, and it is organized to achieve a specific goal on a one-time basis. Option ア, “It achieves a specific goal within a limited period,” accurately expresses this finite duration (limiting the period) and uniqueness (achieving a specific goal), which is exactly the definition of a project itself. Therefore ア is correct.
Incorrectイ
“A team is formed with fixed members, and that team handles the entire process” is not an essential characteristic of a project. A project team is organized temporarily to achieve a goal; members typically join and leave for each required process or phase, and the team is disbanded when the project ends. This describes a permanent structure staffed by fixed members, which differs from the definition of a project.
Incorrectウ
“It starts without deciding the end point, and the end point is determined while monitoring the progress” directly contradicts the finite duration of a project (the end point must be clear). An activity that continues without a defined end cannot be called a project; rather, it is closer in nature to continuous, routine operations.
Incorrectエ
“It is executed repeatedly as routine work” is a characteristic of everyday repetitive work (routine work, regular operations), which is the exact opposite of a project's uniqueness (one-time, non-repetitive). Recurring routine operations do not qualify as a project.
ここがポイント
- The two major characteristics of a project are “finite duration” (a time-limited activity with a clear beginning and end) and “uniqueness” (a non-repetitive activity that achieves a specific goal on a one-time basis).
- Grasp the contrast: routine operations that are performed repeatedly and continuously (routine work) are not projects.
