This theoretical essay aims to discuss the differences and similarities between traditional and temporary organizations, which are regarded as "projects" here. We question the viability of treating them under the same organizational approach, since they differ in nature. We assume, as a principle, that social organizations are multifaceted phenomena and can, therefore, be analyzed from various perspectives. Thus, based on our expertise in Project Management, in particular in Project Management Offices, we address the differences and similarities between traditional and temporary organizations.
