Theoretical and methodological tools are proposed.
A first part is devoted to the theoretical frame related to the analysis of a project.
A second part is devoted to the place of the project by referring to the structure and to the dynamics of the organisation wherein it is included, to the stakes and strategies of the actors, to the values on which it is based and to the conventions taken to realise it.
