Benefits of the project lifecycle
Working through the project life cycle systematically brings benefits by:

  • Facilitating planning as decisions are made in phases, so objectives and deliverables are re-evaluated and can be redefined if necessary

  • Clarifying the work to be done in each phase so resources are not committed without review and discussion

  • Pricing and estimating can be easier if clear work definitions exist

Phase 1 - Initiation and Definition
Phase 2 - Planning
Phase 3 - Execution
Phase 4 - Integration/Handover
