-Resource consumption is significant enough to warrant tracking as a project, whenever the tracking overhead drops below 10%.  Assume for the moment an overhead of 1 hour for the start memo, 2 hours for the quarterly status memo, and 4 fours for the final report.  For a project lasting less than three months in calendar time, the threshold is then 50 hours; for a project lasting more than three months, the threshold is 70 hours.

-Hours above are real hours spent working on the project.  These definitions should be evaluated for usefulness as we acquire experience.   The start memo is also relevant to expenses; if we apply the same rule, the threshold is anything costing more than 625 euros (standard figure for personnel 100k / yr = 62,5 euro/hr which is 10% of 625 euros).
