Discussion Post: Project Management Lifecycle
The project management lifecycle (PML) is an important component of project management methodology. It incorporates several areas of knowledge from the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBoK) and it affects and interacts with the application of PMBoK in a project. Different stages of the PML may require focussing on different areas of the PMBoK, and project managers need to assess the PML for their project to identify possible risks, plan for resourcing and commence communicating with stakeholders. This assessment requires that you answer the following question:
"What areas of the PMBoK are affected by the Project Management Lifecycle the most and how do we ensure alignment between the lifecycle of the project and the implementation of PMBoK in projects?". To answer this question, you will need to:
• Post a 600 word response to this question, based on your opinion, to the Discussion Forum on the learning portal.
• Respond to one other student post by critiquing their opinion and comparing it with yours in 200 words.
• The assessment requires that you critically read and interpret both the Project Management Lifecycle and the PMBoK.
The response must include a reference list. Using one-inch margins, double-space, Times New Roman 12 pnt font and APA style of writing and citations.
