Text explanation for graphic:
The graphic shows the phases in the life cycle of a project in the environments
in which we are most interested: Integrated Product Development (IPD),
Customer Relationship Management (CRM), WWPMM, and Project Management Body
of Knowledge (PMBOK).
The following table will explain part of the graphic:
Initial Phase | Intermediate Phase | Final Phase | ||
---|---|---|---|---|
WWPMM | Defining | Planning | Executing/Controlling | Closing |
CRM | Solution Desing | Solution Desing | Solution Delivery | Solution Delivery |
IPD | Concept | Plan | Develop Qualify Launch | Life Cycle Close |
PMBOK | Initiating | Planning | Executing/Controlling | Closing |
Note: The cost and staffing level is lower at the beginning and final part of the project. And it is higher in the intermediate phase.
