The Project Life Cycle is a process that manages a project step by step from the original idea to the end. This concentrates on the Planning stage of the project and the tasks that need to be done to achieve the best outcome for your project so that it is completed on time, within budget and most importantly it matches your business objectives.

This stage is essential to ensure everyone involved in the Project knows exactly what plan is in place to fulfil the objectives.

The planning stage can be divided into the following tasks:
