Basic steps in every project life cycle

Written: September 10, 2020 at 5:35 PM

While there's always some organic variance, every project basically follows a similar structure from start to finish.

Initiating (Check project viability in initiation phase): A project always needs to start - a need is defined.
Managing & Controlling (Managing & Controlling Projects): We track the project, making sure we're going where we need to go, and make and shifts as necessary. There are two phases here:
- Planning (Planning Projects): A solution and approach is defined to solve that need.
- Executing (The Execution Phase): That plan needs to be put into action.
Closing (Closing Projects): Deliverable deployed, hindsight insights gained, project closed.
