A Project Management Life Cycle for Managers

To successfully deliver projects from start to finish, you need to complete all of the steps in the Project Management Life Cycle . The first step in the project management life cycle is called initiation and in this phase, you define the business case, undertake a feasibility study and appoint the project team. Any suppliers are also appointed at this time and a phase review is completed. The next step in the project management life cycle is the planning phase, which involves creating detailed project, resource and quality plans to ensure you are always working towards the project goals set. In the Execution and Closure phases of the project management life cycle, you produce the deliverables and hand them over to the customer for acceptance.

Project Management Methodologies on the Web

Title Project Management Methodologies on the Web Description Keywords In the future, we would like to release the MPMM Project Management Methodologies as a web platform. How it would work is that user would download and install the methodology software on their corporate server, and their project managers and teams could use it to manage projects. The user can create their project management methodologies , add documentation and manage their templates all in one place. The challenge for us in doing this is protecting the intellectual property included within MPMM, as anyone would have access to the 1000+ content pages, templates and practical examples currently included. Without being able to protect the intellectual property, it’s difficult continuing with the web solution development. If you have ideas on how the MPMM  Project Management Methodologies could be ported onto a web platform, while retaining the intellectual property rights to the content included, then let us know.
