A program cycle is a series of steps that repeats until completion, providing a strategic and evidence-based approach to planning, implementing, assessing, and adapting programs. It follows four main phases: initiation, planning, execution, and closure. Similarly, a project life cycle involves initiation, planning, execution, control, and closeout phases to deliver projects on time and to satisfaction. Both aim to structure the management process but a program cycle focuses more on organizational results and value.
This document provides guidance on successful project execution through 18 chapters. It discusses that project success is highly predictable when proper project management procedures are followed. Some key elements of success include accurate planning, reasonable goals, experienced resources, and allowing for adequate contingencies to address unforeseen conditions. While no project manager can guarantee success, they can manage projects to stay within budget and schedule by closely following proven project management steps such as developing a work breakdown structure, estimating durations, creating a logical schedule, controlling procurement, monitoring daily progress, implementing recovery plans if needed, and closing out the project upon completion.
The document discusses criteria for determining project success. It argues that using only time and budget constraints is too simplistic, as projects can exceed budgets but still be successful, or finish on time/budget but fail to achieve business goals. The document recommends setting a single target for project net present value at a defined point in time to account for schedule, cost, and revenue/profit forecasts. This allows managers to make decisions based on full business consequences and define success targets with contingency reserves for the project team, management team, and management.
The document discusses the project life cycle and its various phases. It begins with an introduction to project management and the importance of understanding the project life cycle. It then describes the five main phases of a typical project life cycle: initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and control, and closure. For each phase, it provides an overview of the key steps and deliverables. It also discusses other important aspects that influence the project life cycle such as cost and staffing levels over time, risks, organizational structures, and interactions between project management processes.
Project Plan Development - A FlackVentures Training ExampleKate Pynn
Project planning is the construction of a dynamic agreement across diverse functional groups involved in a project. This agreement specifies:
Goals and deliverables of the project
What is being developed
Major activities that will be performed to achieve those goals
The assumptions that were made
Major risks, as they become known
This document provides an overview of the PRINCE2 processes and management products. It begins by explaining that a PRINCE2 project is typically triggered by a project mandate from either a program or corporate management. The first process is Starting Up a Project which establishes the project board and manager and produces the Project Brief and initiation stage plan. The second process is Initiating a Project which takes place in the initiation stage and produces the Project Initiation Documentation, which defines the risk, quality, change, and communication management approaches.
The document discusses project management basics and concepts. It covers the five phases of the project life cycle: initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and controlling, and closure. It also discusses stakeholders, types of projects, feasibility studies, and the roles and responsibilities of a project manager during each phase. Undue use of money and resources can be prevented with effective project management.
The document provides an overview of project management and outlines a 13-step process for managing a project from definition through implementation. It discusses defining requirements, planning activities, controlling resources, and ensuring success. The 13 steps include defining the project, developing objectives and work breakdown structure, scheduling and protecting the plan, implementing work, monitoring progress, and closing out the project. Key aspects are identifying resource needs, assigning responsibilities, sequencing and scheduling deliverables, and analyzing potential problems or opportunities.

Project management is about acquiring or achieving the project goal and Most projects need to be broken down into a logical sequence of ‘phases’, known as the project life cycle.
1. The document defines a project as a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product or service, with defined start and end points. It is contrasted with ongoing operations.
2. Project management is defined as planning, organizing, securing, and managing resources to successfully complete a project's goals and objectives while honoring constraints of scope, time, and budget.
3. There are four key areas of responsibility for project managers: identifying requirements, establishing achievable objectives, balancing scope, time and cost, and satisfying stakeholders' needs. Neglecting any of these increases the risk of project failure.
This document outlines a 10-step process called Step Wise for project planning. It involves selecting the project, identifying objectives and scope, analyzing project characteristics, identifying products and activities, estimating effort, identifying risks, allocating resources, reviewing and publishing the plan, and executing the plan through lower levels of detailed planning. Project planning establishes objectives, analyzes the project, and identifies an infrastructure, products, activities, resources, and quality controls to guide successful execution.

Temple of Asclepius in Thrace. Excavation resultsKrassimira Luka
The temple and the sanctuary around were dedicated to Asklepios Zmidrenus. This name has been known since 1875 when an inscription dedicated to him was discovered in Rome. The inscription is dated in 227 AD and was left by soldiers originating from the city of Philippopolis (modern Plovdiv).
THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

10. PROGRAMME CYCLE MANAGEMENT
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
The Program Life Cycle predominantly
resembles the project management lifecycle. The
fundamental difference is that while program
management aims at dealing with results and gains
and its value to the organization, project
management aims at delivering products on time
and obtaining customer satisfaction.
11. 5 STAGES OF THE PROJECT LIFE CYCLE
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
12. 5 STAGES OF THE PROJECT LIFE CYCLE
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
1. Project Initiation Phase
The first phase in the
project management life cycle is
the initiation phase. This phase
is the starting point for all
projects when we need to make a
positive decision about the
objectives we need to achieve.
13. 5 STAGES OF THE PROJECT LIFE CYCLE
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
2. Project Planning Phase
This phase of the project is
essentially the plan that tells you where
you are supposed to be in the first place.
Without a plan, you have no idea if you
are doing okay or not. If you have no
plan, you have no control. You need to
know – How long will it take? – How
much will it cost? – What must be done?
14. 5 STAGES OF THE PROJECT LIFE CYCLE
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
3. Project Execution Phase
In the execution phase, work
begins on implementing the project
plan. This means putting it into
action as soon as possible. The
famous quote “Procrastination is the
thief of time” holds very true for
project execution.
15. 5 STAGES OF THE PROJECT LIFE CYCLE
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
4. Project Control Phase
In the previous, execution
phase, the process had started and
now in this project management life
cycle phase, the focus is on monitoring
the processes as the work is
performed. Typically, control is the day-
to-day effort of project managers to
keep project works on track.
16. 5 STAGES OF THE PROJECT LIFE CYCLE
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
5. Project Close Out Phase
Project closure is defined as the
learning stage of a project. In this
phase of a project, we collect and store
data on our successes and
shortcomings. This ensures that we do
not continue to find ourselves following
the same predictable path to failure.
17. STAGES OF A PROJECT
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
1. Determine the Project Goals and Objectives
The first step in the project planning phase is to
define the goals and objectives of your project.
Project goals and objectives help you decide if the
project should be prioritized (or even undertaken—essentially
you need to use a proof of concept).
They also assist you in deciding what to deliver to the
client and in identifying problems early on, e.g., a short
deadline.
18. STAGES OF A PROJECT
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
2. Determine the Project Scope
Stakeholders often request extra tasks or
significant changes in direction (sometimes several of
them) during a project that could derail it.
Your project scope protects you from unrealistic
expectations, conflicting interests, and unattainable
demands as the project progresses.
19. STAGES OF A PROJECT
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
3. Build Your Work Breakdown Structure (WBS)
At this stage, start determining which tasks, subtasks,
and deliverables must be carried out to complete the project.
You can do this by referring to your scope and creating a work
breakdown structure—a structured decomposition of tasks
needed to complete a project.
In his book Project Management for Humans, Brett Harned
emphasizes the importance of work breakdown structure: "Creating a work
breakdown structure for any plan or set of tasks helps you get granular
about the work that needs to be done on any given project."
20. STAGES OF A PROJECT
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
4. Set Timelines
Now that you have individual tasks created,
you can set timelines for each activity.
Project timelines help you estimate the completion
date and keep things on track.
Timelines are usually plotted on a Gantt chart
or in a resource management tool like Float.
21. STAGES OF A PROJECT
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
5. Determine and Plan Resources
For a project to succeed, you need the right people
and resources.
The resource planning process in project
management involves a lot of project assumptions and
making estimates.
But from the past steps—especially your WBS,
scope, and goals—you should have a rough idea of what
resources you need.
22. STAGES OF A PROJECT
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
6. Estimate Costs
One of the challenges in the project planning
process is balancing your budget with your
stakeholders' desire to save money.
However, if you underestimate costs, you
might find yourself without funds in the middle of the
project.
23. STAGES OF A PROJECT
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
6. Estimate Costs
To approximate the cost of the project, you can use:
Ballpark estimation:
What do you think the entire project will cost based on
project objectives and client expectations? This is not an
exact figure. It could cost less or more, so let your clients
know. Use this method when you need to give a cost
estimate before determining things like your WBS or
resources.
24. STAGES OF A PROJECT
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
6. Estimate Costs
To approximate the cost of the project, you can use:
Parametric estimation:
Use historical data in your resource management
tool and the cost of variables to estimate costs. Turn your
WBS into a cost breakdown structure. You can take the
prices of a unit of labor, such as a mason working at $23 an
hour, and multiply it by the amount of time the project will
take.
25. STAGES OF A PROJECT
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
7. Determine risks and constraints
No project exists without risks or constraints.
The key to avoiding a project failure is identifying the
potential pitfalls and creating an action plan to handle
them.
One way to properly prepare is to create a risk
register—a document that lists all of the potential risks
and information about them. Also, include an action
plan to counter each project risk in your risk register.
26. STAGES OF A PROJECT
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
8. Plan Out Communication
Creating a communication blueprint is
essential in developing a project plan. "No
matter what role you’re playing on a project,
if you’re not making a strong effort to
communicate with your team, you will likely
fail," says Harned.
27. STAGES OF A PROJECT
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
9. Make Plans for Quality Control and
Assurance
Planning for project quality control involves
providing guidelines for managing, assuring, and
maintaining standards within the project.
Without a plan, it will be very tough to achieve
your desired results.
You might end up with a slow e-commerce
website or a leaky plumbing system!
28. PROJECT MANAGEMENT LIFE CYCLE
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
The project management life cycle is
a step-by-step framework of best practices
used to monitor a project from its beginning
to its end.
It provides project managers with a
structured way to create, execute and
finish a project. (www.coursera.org)
29. PROJECT MANAGEMENT LIFE CYCLE
Module 2 : Project& ProgramCycle EvaM. Bajade
The project management life cycle
provides structure to the execution of
project delivery.
It helps project teams ensure both
client deliverables and employee needs
are met throughout the project
management process. (blog.bigtime.net)
