What is Projects vs Operations?
A project is temporary and unique: it has a start, an end, and produces something that didn't exist. Operations are ongoing and repetitive: they run the thing the project built. Build the factory = project; run the factory = operations.
The boundary matters at handover — the project ends precisely where operations accept the deliverable — and on the exam, "ongoing," "repetitive," and "continuous" are operations words that disqualify project answers.
Worked example
Designing and launching an airline's new booking site is a project: eight months, a team, an end date. Processing the 40,000 bookings a day that flow through it afterward is operations. When marketing asks the "website team" to also handle daily fare updates forever, the PM recognizes the request for what it is — operations trying to move into the project's tent.
