👉 A project in software development refers to a specific, focused effort to create, modify, or improve a product, service, or system. It typically involves a defined scope, set of goals, and deliverables, often with a timeline and specific resources allocated. Projects can range from small, internal tasks like updating a database to large-scale initiatives such as launching a new application or software platform. Unlike ongoing operations, projects are time-bound and aim to achieve a particular outcome or set of outcomes within a predetermined period.
