The Project Life Cycle refers to the four-step process that is followed by nearly all project managers when moving through stages of project completion. This is the standard project life cycle most people are familiar with. The Project Life Cycle provides a framework for managing any type of project within a business. Leaders in project management have conducted research to determine the best process by which to run projects.

Due to the constant involvement of clients, professional services require a unique project life cycle that involves a recurring feedback loop to ensure project success.
