, Project Execution, Monitoring, andControl.
• The topics of the preceding six chapters fall largely under the realm of planning and
are initially addressed in the conception and definition phases of the project life cycle.
• By the end of the definition phase the project manager and team will have prepared a
full set of requirements and specifications and a somewhat complete plan for the
most immediate stages of the project, as well as an outline for the remaining stages,
which constitute the execution phase or delivery part of the project life cycle.
• What happens in the execution phase, and what most outsiders see when they look
at a project, is the first topic of this chapter.
• Despite all the effort devoted to planning, scheduling, and budgeting in the definition
phase, no plan is ever complete or perfect, and, besides, things rarely go entirely as
planned. Keeping the project moving and on target, tracking progress, and
overcoming obstacles is the purpose of project control, which is the other topic of this
chapter.
, Phase C: Execution.
• The execution phase typically includes the stages of detail
design, production/build, and implementation, though, in
actuality, the stages differ depending on the purpose of the
project.
• In hardware development projects the stages are typically
design, development, and production; in construction
projects they are design and build; and in consulting they are
background research, report compilation, and presentation.
• Many companies have customized project methodologies
with their own unique project phases and stages.
• All projects that produce a physical end-item, a product,
building, or system, also include an implementation stage
wherein the end-item is handed over to the user.
• This chapter looks at the stages of design and
production/build; the next chapter covers the implementation
and project closeout.
