stages of project management
Initiating: The goal for this phase is to define the project.
Planning: This phase includes developing a roadmap for everyone to follow.
Executing & Monitoring: In this stage, the project team is built and deliverables are created. Project managers will monitor and measure project performance to ensure it stays on track.
Closing: The project is completed, a post mortem is held, and the project is transferred to another team who will maintain it. -
life cycle
Every project should go through the same stages. Although each project will require its own set of unique processes and tasks, they all follow a similar framework. There’s always a beginning, a middle, and an end. This is called the project lifecycle. -
project management basics
Goal: What are you trying to achieve?
Timeline: When are you trying to achieve it by?
Budget: How much will it cost to achieve?
Stakeholders: Who are the major players who have an interest in this project?
Project manager: Who is going to make sure everything that needs to be completed gets completed?
A project is not something routine. Day-to-day operations or maintenance is not considered a project because it does not have a definitive start and end.
