1. 程序：
计算机不能单独工作。做任何工作都需要指导。这些指令称为计算机指令。可以使用鼠标、键盘、操纵杆等计算机设备将它们提供给计算机。程序是一组以任何编程语言提供给计算机的指令，以执行特定任务。
2.项目：
当今世界需要开发各种软件。项目的概念是由企业带到软件开发团队的。然后开发团队遵循各种流程来制作软件。软件项目是制作尚未制作的独特软件的分步过程。
程序与项目的区别：
| S.No. | Program | Project |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | A program is a set of instructions that are given to a computer in any programming language, to perform a specific task. | The software project is the step-by-step process involved in making a unique software that has not already been made. |
| 2. | It is made up of instructions. | It contains a set of programs to complete the given software development. |
| 3. | It is managed by the program managers. | It are managed by project managers. |
| 4. | It exists at a single place and continues to exist until it is deleted. | It stops to exist once the software is developed and is brought out to the market. |
| 5. | The core programming team is relatively smaller. | The project team is comparatively larger as it contains the programming team, design team, testing team and maintenance team. |
| 6. | It does not have any resource requirement other than memory space for storing the instructions. | It needs memory, time as well as human resources. |
| 7. | It has no specific constraints. | It has constraint of cost and quality. This is because the enterprise that requests it has a specific budget and quality needs. It is made according to the needs of the enterprise. |
| 8. | It can be completed within a shorter period of time (time frame of up to 3 months). | It can take up longer periods of time (up to 3 years before completion). |
| 9. | It is a part of the project in case of software development. | It is the main activity in case of software development. |
