PROJECT LIFECYCLE

• Project life cycle defines the phases of a IT project from its inception, through planning, development, and delivery.

•These phases serve as a programmatic guide to project activity and provide a flexible but consistent way to conduct projects to a depth matching the scope of the project.

Five Lifecycle Phases

Phase 1 : INITIATION

This phase focuses on project startup. The activities result in: defined project objectivesdefined project scope development of project requirementsavailability of and access to key resources identification of stakeholders

The completion of this phase results in formal authorization to start a project.

Five Lifecycle Phases

Phase 2 : PLANNING

Planning activities are the foundation of the second phase.

Analysis and design tasks help refine scope and ascertain the best approach for the Product Life Cycle (PLC).

This phase sets expectations and formally defines the work effort and management.

The project planning processes are iterative in nature and it’s expected that planning will happen often throughout the project.

Five Lifecycle Phases

Phase 3 : EXECUTION

Involves processes utilized to finish the defined work.

Project management efforts may decrease while product efforts increase.

The majority of work is executed and monitored during this phase.

Five Lifecycle Phases

Phase 4 : MONITORING &CONTROLLING

Regular measurement and monitoring of progress identifies variances from the project management plan so that corrective action can be taken when necessary to meet project objectives.

Project manager monitors and controls the work for time, cost, scope, quality, risk, and other factors of the project

It encompasses implementation activities involved in deploying the new system or product.

Five Lifecycle Phases

Phase 5 : CLOSURE

Project closure includes activities that formally end the project or project phase and turn over the completed product to the customer or to operations.

In addition, the project team evaluates and captures lessons learned.

PLC Phase Assets

BYOD – Bring your own device

• Access to firm data on personal devices (securely).

• Cost effective.• Reduces inventory management.• Support equipments not required.• Smaller Break fix team.• Developed on Lagoon platform/Virtualization.

Circle of Communication• Parties involved in a project.

• Phase 1: Management, Stakeholders, Internal/External client.

•Phase 2: Project management team, Technical team, Vendors and Suppliers, Management.
