Difference between routine and non routine projects
Answers
Answer:
While some housework tasks are done routinely, others are not. For some tasks, we give our daily attention, for others—only when it’s needed. The epitome of routine housework is cooking, whereas maintenance is usually regarded as non-routine. The 2003-2017 American Time Use Survey (ATUS)[i] data shows that about 57% of Americans report cooking or doing related tasks on the diary day. Compare that to only 6% of those who report engaging in maintenance or home repairs. Evidently, there are differences in how likely people are to report a certain activity on the diary day depending on whether the task is routine or non-routine.
However, if it might be easier to pigeonhole tasks such as cooking and maintenance, what about more ambiguous tasks like shopping? Shopping is sometimes classified as routine, and other times—as non-routine. Today, I will try to discuss a few ways to classify shopping tasks using ATUS.
Answer:
The key difference between projects and routine work is the result. The project is intended to create the unique result in restricted environment (scope, time, money), while routine work creates the repeatable result.
