The Project Life Cycle refers to a logical sequence of activities to accomplish the project’s goals or objectives. Project activities are grouped into phases so that the project manager and the core team can efficiently plan and organize resources for each activity. By planning activities by stages the project manager can objectively measure achievement of goals and justify their decisions to move ahead, correct, or terminate.
All projects go through a life cycle that starts at the initial project inception through project shutdown. When applying Project Mechanics, it is critical to accurately assess the stage of the project in the life cycle. It is important to note that not every project will be completed. For example, some projects will not have the proper business justification to make it out of the Project Definition stage.
Here are the stages of the project life cycle for projects in the professional services arena:
