 Project management life cycle
 A project management life cycle (PMLC) is a sequence of processes that
includes scoping, planning, launching, monitoring, controlling,
and closing the projects to which it applies.

ends with a single closing process.
 The intervening processes must each be done at least once and
may be repeated any number of times in some logical order.
