What of the following is NOT a characteristic that both projects and operations share?
  1. Both projects and operations have objectives.
  2. Both projects and operations are managed.
  3. Both projects and operations require resources, including funding and human resources.
  4. Both projects and operations are temporary.
Explanation
Answer - D - Both projects and operations are temporary. Operations are functions that perform ongoing tasks-even after a set of objectives has been attained.

Key Takeaway: Always remember that a project is defined by its temporary and unique nature. Although operations and projects have objectives, require resources, and are managed, operations differ in that they are generally ongoing. Although projects end when the objective is met, operations often continue, setting a new set of objectives.
