Certainly!

Below, I've listed the project life cycles for both PRINCE2 and PMI's PMP, along with relevant
documents for each stage:

PRINCE2 Project Life Cycle:

1. Starting Up a Project (SU):

• Relevant Documents: Project Brief, Project Initiation Document (PID)

2. Initiating a Project (IP):

• Relevant Documents: Business Case, Project Plan, Stage Plan, Project Initiation Document (PID), Risk
Register

3. Directing a Project (DP):

• Relevant Documents: Project Initiation Document (PID), End Stage Report, Exception Report

4. Controlling a Stage (CS):

• Relevant Documents: Stage Plan, Work Package, Issue Register, Quality Register

5. Managing Product Delivery (MP):

• Relevant Documents: Work Package, Checkpoint Reports, Quality Register, Issue Register

6. Managing Stage Boundary (SB):

• Relevant Documents: End Stage Report, Updated Project Plan, Updated Business Case, Lessons Log

7. Closing a Project (CP):

• Relevant Documents: Lessons Report, Project Closure Notification, Project Closure Report

PRINCE2 defines specific documents that need to be created and maintained at each stage to ensure effective
project management.

PMI's PMP Project Life Cycle:

PMI's PMP framework doesn't prescribe a specific project life cycle but allows for flexibility in selecting the
appropriate one based on the project's characteristics. However, relevant documents can vary depending on
the selected project life cycle. Here are some common project documents used in various life cycles:

1. Predictive (Waterfall) Life Cycle:

• Relevant Documents: Project Charter, Project Management Plan, WBS, Gantt Chart, Change Control
Plan, Risk Register, Quality Management Plan, Project Status Reports

2. Iterative and Incremental Life Cycles:

• Relevant Documents: Vision Statement, Release Plan, User Stories, Iteration Plan, Iteration Backlog,
Burn-down Charts, Sprint Review Reports

3. Adaptive (Agile) Life Cycle (e.g., Scrum):

• Relevant Documents: Product Backlog, Sprint Backlog, Product Increment, Daily Stand-up Meeting
Notes, Sprint Review, Sprint Retrospective, Definition of Done

PMI's PMP framework allows project managers to tailor their document requirements based on the selected
project life cycle. The specific documents and their names can vary depending on the organization's practices
and the nature of the project.
In summary, PRINCE2 follows a structured project life cycle with specific documents for each stage, while PMI's
PMP provides flexibility in selecting the appropriate project life cycle, with document requirements that can
vary based on the chosen approach.
