Overview: The project lifecycle is a pivotal concept in the understanding of projects, mapping out the progress of the project from birth to death. However, there seems to be an almost endless confusion over what the project lifecycle is. It is important to understand the project lifecycle, because it is one of the three fundamental dimensions of project concepts; the others being the project processes and the project topics, or knowledge areas. In searching for a more detailed generic project lifecycle one important fact must be borne in mind – that the model should be simple and generic. This may sound obvious, but the implications are enormous. The generic model is inclusive of all projects, with the exception of the most basic, irrespective of their industry sector. Equally, because it is simple, most commercial or large-scale projects will be more complex. Thus, projects will follow the model in detail and in principle, whilst each will have its own more complex lifecycle that should be agreed at the outset. But where can we find a model to start from.
