Public works wants to issue a project charter for weekly street sweeping that has run the same route for years. What should the associate project team recommend?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Weekly sweeping on the same routes is the lawn you keep mowing—operations—not a one-and-done project. Chartering BAU as a “project” just creates paperwork without a unique temporary outcome.
Full Explanation
Projects are temporary and unique; recurring street sweeping is continuous operational work. Issuing a charter does not change the nature of the work. Framing BAU as a program or forcing it into capital portfolio competition mislabels the effort and dilutes project governance.
