5 Phases of a Project

A project doesn't consist of merely carrying out a defined set of tasks. But what kind of planning really goes into a project, you ask? There are 5 basic steps every project can follow. These 5 steps are the starting point for mapping the outline of a project.

  • Conceive: Come up with an idea
  • Define: Develop the scope
  • Start: Gather a team
  • Perform: Begin the actual project work
  • Close: Wrap-up the project

Don't try to cheat your way through a project by taking short cuts. Without following these defined steps, you may end up missing some critical project details that will ensure the success or your project and/or provide you with helpful information on future projects!
