Abstract

The distinction between projects, systems, and products remains surprisingly inconsistent in a typical day in the engineering workplace. Each represents a different temporal and conceptual relationship to engineering work, and understanding their differences matters, not only for semantic correctness, but also in terms of how organizations allocate resources and manage expectations for each one of them.
