The Project Lifecycle


Projects have lives Some not as long as wed like Some much longer than wed like

http://www.bom.gov.au/cyclone/climatology/wa.shtml http://www.lifecycle.net.au/aboutlifecycle/

Project Lifecycle
Definition
The phases which make up the project from beginning to end

Characteristics
What technical work to do in each phase? When the deliverables are to be generated in each phase and how each deliverable is reviewed, verified, verified and validated? Who is involved in each phase? How to control and approve each phase? Phase transition usually involves transfer or handoff
