Projects are generally special and specific to a certain task. They also can contain many complicated or long-term steps that are needed to complete the project. In a project, steps and tasks are not always straight to the point. Because projects are unique, there are constraints to be followed. These constraints are forces that consists of time consumption, costs and budgets, and scope (Wallace, 2020). These forces work hand in hand and affect each other differently.  A process is different from a project and generally less complicated. While projects contain complicated and elongated steps, processes are usually shorter and straight to the point. A process “is a series of events designed to deliver a product or service that is repeated over and over” (Wallace, 2020, p. 354). In order to keep the…
