Wireless and Mobile Technologies for e-Business – Lecture 1Lab 2 – Initiating the project 2
▪ A project is an activity that has a defined start and a defined finish:
✓ produces some measurable result,
✓ requires time, money, and resources.
▪ In developing a project there are involved several persons(stakeholders) showing various interests, needs orexpectations …
