ASIP-PMIntro-9 Five Phases of Chuks Newsletter Editing Project

Description

Whether it is a large project or a small one, all projects go through phases (otherwise known as "Process Groups"). Depending on the project and organizational norms, the way that you engage with each phase may differ. For example, the amount of time required (and the documentation produced) for a similar project may differ from organization to organization, and even from department to department. The PMBOK Guide identifies five (5) phases of project management: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling, and Closing.

Scenario: Let's catch up with Chuks. Chuks recently secured a work term at IBM and would like to get more involved in the company’s operations to develop his skills. He noticed that the company has a newsletter and decided to propose the idea of editing an article for it to his supervisor.
