Going Through A Phase (Of Project Management)

Week 1: Initiation and Planning · Lesson 3 ·


The phases, or steps, of successful project management are (spoilers) initiation, planning, execution, control, and closure. In this lesson, we dive into what that means.

Project management fits neatly into 5 Phases. 

Initiation - Pre-planning phase conceptual phase: Should we do this? Can we do this? Is it possible? 

Planning - Putting together the logistics of actually carrying out a feasible project. 

Execution - The "doing" part of doing a project. 

Control - Also known as monitoring, in this part you as a PM make sure everything goes according to your cunning plan. 

Closure - Exactly what it sounds like and exactly as necessary as you think.
