THE PROJECT LIFE CYCLE
All projects go through a series of phases or stages. The following is a common sequence:

Phase One - PROJECT IDENTIFICATION AND INITIATING PROCESS
This phase involves identifying project ideas and needs. The individual or group responsible for a potential
project will refine an idea or concept into a project. Such a person draws up a project proposal which identifies
tasks to suit their objectives. If a project is considered to be feasible, in other words realistic or with attainable
objectives; then the next phase (project planning) follows.
The steps in this phase include:Recognising that a project should be done
Identifying the outcomes of the project
Identifying the expectations of customers, management and
other interested parties (stakeholders)
Selecting the members of the project team.
Establishing the chain of command, and the communication
processesPhase Two - PROJECT PLANNING
This phase involves preparing a plan or design of what the project entails, in particular "Planning the length or
"lifespan" for the expected project, the project costs, and preparation of possible task alternatives in the event of
unexpected changes. Consideration is given to the needs, alternatives and techniques that may have to be
applied, and once completed, the implementation phase follows. Refining the scope of the project
 Listing tasks and activities
 Sequencing activities in the most cost efficient and time effective way
