important role in every project because the

project by defining its purpose, scope and
justification for implementing the project and
defining solution for the project.
To be more specific, business cases are
written and feasibility study is performed in this
phase.

6.  Project Planning:
 The most crucial phase for project
manager is planning a project, wherein one
has to make some guess about available
resources and various equipment's needed
in order to finish the project successfully.
In this phase of project planning budget
estimation and deadlines are defined.

7. Project execution and control Project:
Execution simply means comparing the project
status to the actual plan and deliverables are
physically built. Each deliverable will be
constructed where project manager will
monitor and control the deliverables. For
controlling deliverables status reports are
considered. Project managers may need to
adjust schedules or do what is necessary to
keep the project on track.

8.  Project Closure:
This phase involves releasing the final
deliverables to the customer and getting
approval from the customer.
 Projects should be formally closed by writing
a summary and handing over project
documentation to the customer, releasing
project resources and communicating project
closure to all stakeholders.

9. The final step is to go for a Post
Implementation Review to identify the
level of project success and note any
lessons learned for future projects.
