Project management is a practical process that involves the use of specific skills and techniques to complete organizational projects. Generally, there are five phases of project management that cover all areas of a project from conception to completion. The steps include initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and controlling, and closing. Project initiation is the beginning of the project. This phase typically involves developing the task's overall scope and objective, alongside conducting a feasibility study. Project managers and their teams also prepare a project charter that covers all the project's essential issues. Next is project planning. This phase involves determining all the other essential steps required to carry out the task. During this stage, project managers also decide the time and budget needed to complete each aspect of the plan. They will also assign team members to oversee the different tasks at this point. Project execution is the next phase. Here, project members and their teams implement the various steps outlined during the planning process. Project managers also monitor and control the task to ensure it stays on course. The final phase of project management involves finalizing and wrapping up all the stages of the project and delivering it to the customer.
