The document outlines a four phase project lifecycle model including define, plan, implement, and close phases. In the define phase, a project proposal is submitted to management to establish a shared understanding before planning begins. In the plan phase, the project is proposed in more detail with a plan, schedule, and budget. In the implement phase, the work outlined in the project plan is carried out. Finally, in the close phase, the project is shut down in a controlled manner and lessons learned are captured. Key deliverables, activities, questions, and purposes are described for each phase of the lifecycle.
