, Part 2: Chapter 3
Project Life Cycle.
• Most systems move through a series of
developmental stages.
• In human-made systems, the
developmental stages follow an intentional,
logical sequence of prescribed activities
called the systems development cycle.
• Project management occurs within this
cycle and is the function responsible for
planning the work activities and organizing
and guiding their execution.
, PLC & Project Conception.
• One feature of the systems approach is the concept of life cycle.
• It is the basic pattern of change that occurs throughout the life of a system.
• Two ways the systems approach accounts for this are:
i. Recognize the natural process that occurs in all dynamic systems that of birth,
growth, maturity, and death.
ii. Incorporate that process into the planning and management of systems.
• The practice of project management does both.
• The process of developing, implementing, and operating any human-made system
follows a logical sequence of phases called the systems development cycle.
• Projects also follow a sequence of phases from beginning to end called the project
life cycle.
