5 Basic Phases of Project Management

Sorted by : APMC PDU Team

Project Management defines as "the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to a broad range of activities in order to meet the requirements of a particular project." The process of directing and controlling a project from start to finish may be further divided into 5 basic phases:


1. Project conception and initiation

An idea for a project will be carefully examined to determine whether or not it benefits the organization. During this phase, a decision making team will identify if the project can realistically be completed.


2. Project definition and planning

A project plan, project charter and/or project scope may be put in writing, outlining the work to be performed. During this phase, a team should prioritize the project, calculate a budget and schedule, and determine what resources are needed.


3. Project launch or execution

Resources' tasks are distributed and teams are informed of responsibilities. This is a good time to bring up important project related information.


4. Project performance and control

Project managers will compare project status and progress to the actual plan, as resources perform the scheduled work. During this phase, project managers may need to adjust schedules or do what is necessary to keep the project on track.


5. Project close

After project tasks are completed and the client has approved the outcome, an evaluation is necessary to highlight project success and/or learn from project history.

Projects and project management processes vary from industry to industry; however, these are more traditional elements of a project. The overarching goal is typically to offer a product, change a process or to solve a problem in order to benefit the organization.

Just wanted to say how much I enjoy my Kurtka Trapstar—it’s quickly become my go-to jacket this season. The fabric feels premium and durable, and the fit is just right without being too bulky. Every time I step out wearing it, I feel confident and stylish without trying too hard. The unique graphics really set it apart from other jackets I’ve owned. If you’re on the fence about getting one, I’d say go for it—you won’t regret it.

Great explanation of how proper planning and budgeting play a key role in successful outcomes. Just like in project management, understanding the financial structure in advance is essential for students planning their medical journey. When researching University of Georgia fees, it becomes clear that a well-planned budget covering tuition, accommodation, and living expenses makes studying MBBS abroad much more manageable. Having clear cost insights helps students move step-by-step toward their goal, just like the structured phases described in this article. For those exploring affordable medical education options, education vibes provides useful guidance and clarity throughout the process.

It appears that there isn't a Qatar Airways Philadelphia Office in the city, which is what I was seeking for in order to manage reservations and receive in-person help. Fortunately, they have a very useful website and customer care, and approved travel agents in Philadelphia can help with special requests, flight tickets, and revisions. Qatar Airways makes it simple for passengers to handle everything without the need for a local office.
