Wikipedia
however technically a program is actually a higher level construct: a group of related and somehow interdependent projects. A project is a temporary endeavor, having a defined beginning and end (usually constrained by date, but can be by funding or deliverables 1 ), undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, usually to bring about beneficial change or added value. The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast to business as usual (or operations) , which are repetitive, permanent or semi-permanent functional work to produce products or services.

One manager said, "Geez, there's only 200 hours in this project. I can't waste any of them on meetings." Sound familiar? Before I respond let's review my definition of a project.
