	Expert Project Management - An Improved Project Lifecycle Model - Edmund Fish
		The use of the word lifecycle is probably a throwback to biology where a lifecycle refers to the birth-reproduction-death cycle of species.
		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.

	Project Management Lifecycle Planning (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Plan the Project (University of Washington)- Set the foundation for the project work by defining the tasks to be accomplished, and the timeframe, resources, staffing, communication, and costs involved in completing these tasks.
		Project Planning Under the Threat of a Disruptive Event (University of Washington)- In this paper, the authors consider a project planning problem when there is a possibility of a disruptive event (e.g., strike) occurring sometime during the project.
		Project mangers will address these elements at different levels of detail depending on the size and type of the project, but all elements should receive some consideration during the planning process.

	Expert Project Management - An Improved Project Lifecycle Model - Edmund Fish
		By taking the third level generic project lifecycle proposed here and examining it using the five processes set out by the Project management Institute's guide to the Body of Knowledge, each half of the project lifecycle can be seen to be a project in its own right.
		This attempt to straightjacket and confuse the project lifecycle with the project processes is only indicative and ignores the micro-planning and interactions that occur between the process phases.
		On larger projects, a more common approach is to appoint a "construction manager" since the increase in information and decisions to be handled can no longer be handled by a single person.

	Lifecycle Data Management & Information Integration
		The Asset Lifecycle Information System will support the rapid generation of procurement packages and supporting schedule and financial data when designs are approved, and the automatic dissemination of the design and quality assurance packages to project team members and qualified suppliers and vendors.
		During design and construction, and when the construction project is complete, the Asset Lifecycle Information System will be available to the facility operation and maintenance function for use as a facility control model, supporting routine operations and maintenance activities as well as planning and execution of facilities upgrades and other actions downstream in the lifecycle.
		These must be applicable for all capital project functions and facility lifecycle phases, enabling different companies to seamlessly share information and data and interface as "modules" of an extended enterprise for any project and throughout the lifecycle of a plant, in support of the vision for interoperability.

	Expert Project Management - An Improved Project Lifecycle Model - Edmund Fish
		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.
		The generic model is inclusive of all projects, with the exception of the most basic, irrespective of their industry sector.
		It is the division of the project into these work packages that has the potential to add more phases to a particular project's lifecycle.

	Expert Project Management - An Improved Project Lifecycle Model - Edmund Fish
		With project delivery as the product, TQM principles can be applied and this implies the need for a department to take ownership of this product, and a senior manager to be accountable, such as a CPO.
		Firstly, the lifecycle model and the WBS are intricately linked and the lifecycle model should aid in the development of the WBS, and at the current nine phases (sanction is more a milestone) then this model has the magic number seven (plus or minus two) required for easy mental grasp.
		Its use does not ensure project success, nor does the failure to use it ensure project failure, but using it is likely to load the odds in your favor.

	Project Lifecycle
		The phases of a project life cycle are not the same as the Project Management Process Groups described in detail in Chapter 3.
		A project phase is generally concluded with a review of the work accomplished and the deliverables to determine acceptance, whether extra work is still required, or whether the phase should be considered closed.
		The project life cycle definition will also identify which transitional actions at the end of the project are included or not included, in order to link the project to the ongoing operations of the performing organization.

	Refining the Input: Selecting a Project Lifecycle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In contrast, the Large Standard lifecycle's design phase has many of the more generic activities, such as requirements allocation, that are a familiar part of the ECS design.
		It is interesting that the most important differences between these two lifecycles lie in the fraction of the total effort devoted to 'Integration and Testing' and to the 'Project Office'.
		If ECS were being developed with a large client-server lifecycle, we would expect nearly half of its effort to be devoted to 'IandT', with a relatively small role for the 'Project Office'.

	Project Lifecycle Models: How the differ and when to use them
		For projects with risky elements, it's beneficial to run a series of risk-reduction iterations which can be followed by a waterfall or other non-risk-based lifecycle.
		However, the number of stages to be accomplished are not known at the outset of the project.
		This may be an appropriate approach for a high-risk element of the overall project or architecture.

	Roles per Project or Project Lifecycle
		The project lifecycle has 3 major stages: development; validation customer and acceptance; maintenance.
		In the same product, we may have simultaneously a project in the stage development, a different project in validation, and another project in maintenance (patch development).
		Different projects of the same product may have a different team and a different project manager.

		Having done a similar project in the past and knowing its size, you estimate each major piece of the new project as a percentage of the size of a similar piece of the previous project.
		Again, historical data from your organization’s past projects or industry data models can be used to predict the number of people you will need for a project of a given size and how work can be broken down into a schedule.
		Assuming you are past the planning stage of your current project and you have little time to spare, here are some important actions you can take on this project to start improving your estimation process: Re-estimate the project at several key stages.
