defines as start and end points

Project Life Cycle

Second: the project life cycle is subdivided into phases (stages)

Another Way of Looking at this integration

SUKAD CAM2P™ Project Life Span

Planning process group apply to the whole project

Executing process group apply to the whole project

Monitoring and controlling process group apply to the whole project

All process groups apply to a typical stage or phase as well
