projektikohteet

Projektikohteet is a Finnish term used in project management to refer to the individual targets or units within a project that are to be delivered, realized, or managed. The term combines projekti (project) and kohde (target, object, site).

The meaning varies by sector. In construction and infrastructure, projektikohde often denotes a concrete site or asset such as a building, bridge element, or installation. In IT or product development, it may refer to a feature area, subsystem, release, or operational target within a project.

Typical attributes: name, description, objectives, location or scope, start and end dates, budget, milestones, deliverables, dependencies, risks, stakeholders, status, and performance metrics. They are commonly organized within a project structure such as a work breakdown structure, a project portfolio, or a program, and tracked in project management software.

Lifecycle: identification, planning, execution, monitoring, and closure. During execution, projektikohteet are subject to scope management, cost control, quality assurance, and risk management. Documentation, approvals, and change management are important for traceability.

Challenges: inconsistent definitions of what constitutes a projektikohde across teams, handling cross-project dependencies, data quality, and reporting. The term is often used in procurement and contract work where suppliers are engaged for specific kohteet.
