Non-project work
How do you call work or activities that are not done as a project?
Examples
- Sales
- Finance
- HR
- Management
- Living in a house vs. building it.
Names - Long list
Name | Notes |
---|---|
Area | This is the first A in PARA from Building a Second Brain |
Business as Usual - BAU | [1] |
Continuous activities | Source: Quora |
Department - Afdeling | Like the department of a company. Seems to fit at times and to completely not fit at other times |
Going concern | Sounds like a bookkeeping term, but is quite apt. How does the abbreviation GC look like? |
Non-project work | Description, rather than a name. And quite an ugly one [2] |
Ongoing processes | [3] |
Operations | Maybe this is it - Quite simple source |
Operationals | Worse than Operations |
Operational activities | Let's a description, not really a useful or attractive name |
Retainer | Source |
Names - Short list
I'm undecided about what term to use. My top-3:
- Area
- BAU
- Operations.
I think that it depends on the context what is the best term ⇒ Let go of it: Use whatever fits the situation and time will tell what it will be.
Names for both things together?
Names for both these kinds together, aren't that difficult to find:
- Activities (activiteiten)
- Board (board): Within Trello or Notion.
