Phases of Project Management
Projects big and small have a lot of moving parts. There’s so much to coordinate and track to get from Point A to Point B and execute a successful project. That’s why projects are broken down into smaller, more digestible pieces, also known as project phases. Project phases allow you to take your unwieldy project and organize it so that you can wrap your mind around it and make progress.
In project management there are five phases: initiating, planning, executing, controlling and closing. Throughout these project phases there is a need to constantly monitor and report, which is where project management tools come in. Without project management tools, you’ll be scrambling to gather actionable data, track progress and meet deadlines.
The five phases of a project constitute the project management life cycle, which coincidentally is the title of a book by ProjectManager.com CEO Jason Westland. His in-depth book goes into amazing detail, a level of which we don’t have time to cover, but we can give you a brief overview so you can grasp how to make project phases work for you and your team.
