3. Project life cycle

Each project from the emergence of the idea to its completion is a series of stages of its development. A complete set of stages of development forms the life cycle of the project.
The life cycle of a project is usually divided into phases, phases at stages, stages into stages

3.1. Project Phases

• THE DESIGN PHASE is the initial phase of the project.

Any productive activity, any project requires its goal-setting - design. In practice, the design of economic, social, technical, environmental and other systems is carried out. Any scientific research and any artistic work are also being designed.

The result of the design phase is a constructed model of the system being created and a plan for its implementation.

• TECHNOLOGICAL PHASE

Any project is implemented by a certain set of technologies. Technology is a system of conditions, forms, methods and means of solving the set task.

The result of the technological phase is the implementation of the system

  • Reflexive phase
Reflection plays a crucial role in the organization of productive activities - a constant analysis of the goals, objectives of the process, and results.

The result of the reflexive phase is the evaluation of the implemented system and the determination of the need for either its further correction or the “launching” of a new project.

4. Project Management Theories

The project as an object of management is studied in this section of modern management theory as project management (UE).

Historically, there are four broad sections of the theory of project management:

1. Calendar-based network planning and management
2. "Methodology" of project management
3. Project Management Mechanisms
4. Project Management Information Systems

4.1. Sections of the theory of project management

• Calendar-based network planning and management (QSPA) methods of graph theory for constructing and optimizing the project network schedule and resource allocation
• “Methodology” of project management reflects current terminology and successful experience in project implementation
• Project management mechanisms - organizational decision-making procedures based on the development and analysis of mathematical models of organizational project management
• Project Management Information Systems (PMIS) allow receiving, storing, processing and using decision-making information about the project and its environment

5. Project participants

The main participants of the project are:

-Customer
-Customer
-Sponsor
–The project manager (manager)

-The project team

Customer - a natural or legal person who receives the result of the project. Investors can act as a customer, as well as any other individuals and legal entities.

The client uses the product created as a result of the project, the project user may be the investor, as well as other individuals and legal entities, state and municipal authorities and international organizations for which the project is created.

Sponsor is a subject of investment activity, investing its own, borrowed or attracted funds in the form of investments and ensuring their intended use.

The project manager (manager) is responsible for managing the project and is responsible for its results.

The project team is a group of specialists working on project implementation, representing the interests of various project participants and reporting to the project manager.
