The project life cycle is a five-phase framework project managers use to guide their
projects to completion. It outlines all project stages, from inception to final
implementation, and describes what the team must achieve during each phase.
What are Project Phases?
Project phases are smaller portions of a project that represent distinct goals
or milestones in the larger project lifecycle. Within the project lifecycle, there
are 5 project phases :
