A project is a unique temporary endeavor, with a set beginning and end. The Project Management Framework can be thought of in five basic process groups (typical of almost all projects). 

 

  1. Project Initiation

  2. Project Planning

  3. Project Execution for software development projects, this phase is broken into the following phases:

    1. Design

    2. Development

    3. Test

    4. Deployment

  4. Project Monitoring and Controlling

  5. Project Closing
