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.

It even made me think about how strategic brands like Corteiz or CRTZ XYZ approach their own phases of planning and execution, not just products but how they shape experiences. Curious to see how others interpret these steps in real projects.

Infine, praticare con costanza le Posizioni Yoga Avanzate conduce a un senso di padronanza che va oltre la semplice esecuzione di posture complesse. Si sviluppa una forza che non è solo muscolare, ma anche mentale, perché si impara a superare la paura della caduta, del fallimento e dell’imperfezione. Il percorso verso queste posture diventa una metafora della vita stessa: si prova, si cade, ci si rialza e si tenta di nuovo, con più saggezza e più apertura rispetto a prima. Alla fine, ciò che conta non è arrivare alla forma “perfetta”, ma vivere il viaggio con autenticità, consapevolezza e rispetto per il proprio ritmo naturale.
A yoga therapy class offers a deeply personalized and holistic approach to well-being, blending traditional yogic practices with modern therapeutic understanding to support physical, mental, and emotional healing. Unlike general yoga sessions that focus on broad sequences, a yoga therapy class is tailored to address specific concerns such as chronic pain, anxiety, stress, limited mobility, injury recovery, or lifestyle-related conditions. In these sessions, the therapist observes your posture, breathing patterns, and movement habits to create a customized plan that may include gentle asanas, restorative poses, pranayama, guided relaxation, and mindfulness techniques. The aim is not simply to stretch or strengthen but to restore balance within the body’s systems—musculoskeletal, respiratory, nervous, and even emotional. Over time, practitioners often experience increased body awareness,…
