    Project Executions
    Feasibility Study
    Feasibility Study: Tells project is worth starting-that
    it has a valid business case.
    Information gathering
    Requirement elicitation
    Cost estimation
    With large project feasibility study could be treated

    project then planning of project can take place
    No detailed planning
    Has only outline plan for whole project
    Detailed plan are created in later stages
    Project Execution
    Execution contains design and implementation phase
    Key objectives of effective
