Project management stages

The stages of project management are as follows

• Initiation: Defining the project's objectives and creating fundamental plans.
• Planning: Establishing a detailed schedule, resources, budget, and tasks.
• Execution: Implementing the plans and completing tasks.
• Monitoring and Controlling: Tracking the project's progress and making corrections as necessary.
• Closure: Completing the project, evaluating it, and summarizing the lessons learned.

These stages are important because they organize the processes and ensure the successful execution of the project. The initiative provides clear goals, while planning helps avoid mistakes and allocate resources efficiently. During execution, work is carried out according to the plans, while monitoring allows for the checking of progress and quick resolution of issues. Finally, closure draws lessons and ensures the project's official completion and evaluation.
