Dividing your project management efforts into these five phases can help give your efforts structure and simplify them into a series of logical and manageable steps.
There are typically five phases of project management, which together make up the project life cycle. These phases include:
- Initiation: This phase is focused on defining the project and its objectives, and determining whether the project is feasible and worth pursuing. During this phase, the project sponsor or initiator develops a project charter, which outlines the project’s scope, objectives, stakeholders, and key requirements.
- Planning: This phase involves developing a detailed project plan that outlines the specific activities, timelines, resources, and budget required to achieve the project objectives. The project plan typically includes a work breakdown structure (WBS), a project schedule, a budget, and a risk management plan.
- Execution: This phase involves implementing the project plan and executing the specific activities and tasks required to achieve the project objectives. During this phase, the project manager oversees the work of the project team, manages project resources, and ensures that the project is progressing according to plan.
- Monitoring and Control: This phase involves monitoring and controlling project progress, including tracking project performance against the project plan, identifying and managing risks, and ensuring that project deliverables are completed on time, within budget, and to the required level of quality.
- Closure: This phase involves formally closing out the project and ensuring that all project deliverables have been completed and approved. This phase also involves conducting a project evaluation to assess the project’s success and identify lessons learned that can be applied to future projects.
These five phases of project management provide a structured framework for managing projects from start to finish, and help ensure that projects are completed successfully, on time, and within budget. Each phase builds on the previous one and prepares the project for the next, ensuring that the project is managed in a systematic and structured way.
