Project Phase

A phase is a logically sequenced grouping of project work that concludes with the creation of one or more deliverables.

Key Points

  • Each phase has defined start and end points and produces specific deliverables.
  • Phases can be arranged sequentially, overlap, or iterate based on the chosen life cycle.
  • Phase boundaries often include reviews or gates to confirm readiness to proceed.
  • Objectives, stakeholders, and criteria for completion are tailored for each phase.

Example

In a construction project, a design phase groups activities such as requirements capture, preliminary drawings, and final blueprints, ending with an approved design package as the deliverable.
