PROJECT LIFECYCLE OVERVIEW
Project-based businesses often refer to their projects by different names. But whether these firms call them a contract within the Government Contracting space, an engagement within Professional Services firms, or refer to them as a project within the AEC space, these organizations share the same ultimate goal—to win and deliver successful projects. Companies aim to optimize their processes throughout the project lifecycle and ensure the best outcomes regardless of project size, small-scale projects with clearly defined objectives or complex engagements involving multiple stakeholders and organizational dependencies. The project lifecycle is the operational framework of the five distinct phases that shows how these firms execute project excellence from win through delivery. This framework helps businesses see how to optimize their capabilities to deliver for their clients and grow their businesses.
