Project Lifecycle Management

Project Lifecycle Management deepens participants' understanding of how projects move from initiation through planning, execution, monitoring, and closure. Built on PMI® standards, the program adds intermediate-level practice exercises so existing project staff can sharpen their delivery against measurable performance indicators.

On completion, participants will be able to:

• Explain the complete project life-cycle from initiation to closure
• Identify roles and responsibilities of project team members
• Develop basic project plans, schedules, and WBS
• Apply essential planning techniques for scope, schedule, budget, risk, and communication
• Understand stakeholder engagement and project governance
• Monitor progress using simple tools and performance measures
• Manage risks, issues, and changes throughout the life-cycle
• Close projects systematically and capture lessons learned

• Stronger life-cycle execution
• Better stakeholder engagement
• Cleaner project documentation
