Application
"Harvard Business Review" outlines the four main phases of project management. "Whether you're in charge of developing a website, designing a car, moving a department to a new facility, updating an information system, or just about any other project (large or small), you'll go through the same four phases of project management: planning, build-up, implementation, and closeout," the Harvard researchers say. Each of these phases, they emphasize, should include the following steps:
- Planning: Map Out a Project – to complete this stage of the project management process determine the real problem to solve; identify the stakeholders; define project objectives; and determine the scope, resources, and major tasks.
- Build-Up: Get the Project Going – to complete this stage of the project management process assemble your team; plan assignments; create the schedule; hold a kickoff meeting; and develop a budget.[/bold]
- Implementation: Execute the Project – to complete this stage of the project management process monitor and control process and budget; report progress; hold weekly team meetings; and manage problems.
- Closeout: Handle End Matters – to complete this stage of the project management process evaluate project performance; close the project; and debrief with the team.
