If it doesn’t, it might not be a project. Ask yourself if a proposed project will create change. Change - Projects seek to create or introduce change in your business.Projects typically rely on cross-functional teams to execute, so if a proposed project doesn’t require cross-functional collaboration (or collaboration of any kind), it probably falls under the RTB umbrella. Teaming - Looking at who exactly would be doing certain work can help define whether it’s a project or RTB.This means the timeline, scope of work, effort required, goal and deliverables are specific and describable. Definability - One clear characteristic of a project is that it can be clearly defined.If something requires ongoing work, it’s likely RTB. Timeline - According to the Project Management Institute, a project is “a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique project service or result.” They key word here is “temporary.” Projects have clear start and end dates.However, it is also possible that a proposed project cannot be easily aligned because it’s not relevant to your organization’s current strategy. If certain work cannot be easily aligned, it might be RTB. Goal - Projects should be clearly aligned to one (or possibly more) corporate goal.Organizations could even set a specific threshold for work where anything above this threshold is a project and anything below is RTB. Work that has a small demand is likely RTB while larger demands tend to be a project. Effort - An easy litmus test for whether certain work is RTB or a project is the required effort.If you’re struggling with sorting projects from RTB activities, start with three to five of these dimensions and change them or add more as needed. Below are some of the most commonly used dimensions for defining a project. We recommend using multiple dimensions to evaluate and determine if work is a project or RTB. Determining if certain work is actually Run the Business or a project is sometimes difficult. We’ve tried to provide a clear definition for both Run the Business and project work, but we also understand that things aren’t always so black and white.
