6 Examples of a Project Management Process

 ,
The project management process is a repeatable series of steps that are used to deliver change. This is an intuitive process that is nonetheless surrounded in opaque and convoluted standards. The following is the basic project management process.
Initiation → Planning → Project Delivery → Project Control → Launch → Close

Initiation

Defining the goals, objectives, business case, benefits, constraints, assumptions, requirements and acceptance criteria for a project. It is common to package basic project initiation deliverables into a project charter.

Planning

Developing a project plan and designing the project work. This typically begins with estimates and progresses to a schedule and plan. Scope may be constrained to include far less than that identified in initiation. Where possible, a series of short fast projects typically beat one large project.

Project Delivery

The process of implementing your plans and designs. A number of processes run in parallel to this such as change management, stakeholder management, project risk management and issue clearing.

Project Control

Applying internal controls to the project such as monitoring, reporting and budget control.

Launch

Operationalization of the project.

Close

Measuring real world project benefits and closing the project with lessons learned.
