Recently, we talked about what a project is.

Today, we would like to tell you what stages a project consists of.

Yes, we must know that a project, regardless of its character or size, consists of specific stages through which we should go.

The first stage is the phase of initiating the project.

It is a very important stage for the project, because based on the result of this stage, The sponsor makes specific decisions, the sponsor is the client.

Therefore, at this stage, we should first of all find answers to specific questions.

Who will be involved and what will be the duties within the project.

Here we are not talking about specific people, but about the competences that we have to meet, which we will need for this project.

What is the project's schedule and when the key elements of this project, i.e.

All this should be collected in 1 document, which is very important for the project manager and for the project, which is the project card.

Yes, the project card is a short document, an essence, you could say, which usually contains information like the reason for launching the project, which is the goal, the concept of the solution and the main components of the scope, the main stakeholders and, above all, the project sponsor, the main risks, the milestones, what benefits come from the implementation of this project, the overall cost plan and who is the project manager.

In general, the goal of creating such a project map is to obtain approval of the project by key stakeholders, and above all by the sponsor.

At this stage, it is easier to make some changes than at a later stage of planning or implementation.

In the project's card, some topics are discussed in a very general way, such as the budget or the risk.

We specify in other documents to which this project card refers, for example, the risk register or a budget document, but this is a wide topic, so I think it's worth making a separate video about it, and we will definitely do it.

So, to sum up, the project card simply helps us to get approval before launching the project, whether this project is worth implementing and whether we will implement it.

Yes, and this is the document that allows the sponsor to decide about the next fates, because we have to know and count on it that at this stage the project may be closed by the client sponsor.

It may be put off for the future for various reasons, for example, that at the stage of initiating the project, we estimate the total cost of the budget, with which the client was fully aware that it had to be counted.

Perhaps the client or we do not have the available competences for today, which are needed to implement this project.

So This is the stage when the project can be stopped or moved in time, but it can also get green light and move on to the next stage, which is the planning stage.

Here we go a little more in detail, both in creating a plan, a quality plan, communication, risk management, and change management.

It is a separate document, which is then a collective document together with a project card.

As Sandra mentioned, these are very important documents and quite a lot to discuss, so we will devote separate videos to this.

But what is also important is that at the planning stage, we have to define the goal and the measure of success.

Measures are very important in a project.

We have to decide according to what we will define, measure, and study whether we achieve the goal of a given project.

And again, this is the moment when the client can make a decision to stop the project, put it on the shelf, or continue it.

If we have a green light, we go further and enter the most interesting stage of the project, which is the stage of implementation.

So, once everything is planned, we start the implementation of the previously planned works, which leads to the delivery of the project's intended effect, regardless of whether we work waterfall or in sprints.

At this stage, monitoring and control of work progress, quality, is also very important.

And here, the harmonogram is extremely useful, which helps us track deviations.

The harmonogram, however, gives us the direction or order of work, time assumptions, so it is also a good tool for control.

Of course, when it comes to monitoring, we don't just use it, but it's also a very important topic, so we'll probably make a video on it, and we cordially invite you to watch it.

That we will probably record a material on this topic and to which we warmly invite you.

So, when we have the work done, checked, monitored, everything went well, we hope, according to the assumptions, we move on to the last phase, which is the closing of the project.

And now, the phase of closing the project, this is the last phase, And in this phase, the project results are delivered and the result is received by the order giver.

A final report is created, summarizing the work.

It is worth writing a lesson-learned at this stage, that is, our conclusions, lessons from this project, so that in the future, if we or another project manager will implement a similar project, we can go back to it and learn from the experience of this project.

In addition, at this stage, the resources are released, i.e.

The project team is disbanded, the documentation is archived, the projects are sorted, including sorting with external companies, if we cooperate with such companies.

And the most pleasant thing, but very important, is that we celebrate.

It is worth securing such a position in the budget.

Our celebration of the project's success.

It's worth setting it up with a sponsor right away, because not only work makes a person live.

The atmosphere is important, the motivation of people is important.

So at the end of every project, we always recommend organizing some kind of meeting, an integration meeting, so that the project managers can celebrate the success of this project.

To sum up, the important stages that are worth noticing and applying.

Initiation, planning, implementation and closing the project slash celebration.

Speaker 0: Hi, it's Aneta.

Speaker 1: Hi, it's Sandra. Welcome to our channel. Recently, we talked about what a project is. Today, we would like to tell you what stages a project consists of.

Speaker 0: Yes, we must know that a project, regardless of its character or size, consists of specific stages through which we should go. The first stage is the phase of initiating the project. It is a very important stage for the project, because based on the result of this stage, The sponsor makes specific decisions, the sponsor is the client. Therefore, at this stage, we should first of all find answers to specific questions. What problem should the project solve?

What result should we deliver? When, i.e. Who will be involved and what will be the duties within the project. Here we are not talking about specific people, but about the competences that we have to meet, which we will need for this project. And when, i.e.

What is the project's schedule and when the key elements of this project, i.e. The millstones, will appear. All this should be collected in 1 document, which is very important for the project manager and for the project, which is the project card.

Speaker 1: Yes, the project card is a short document, an essence, you could say, which usually contains information like the reason for launching the project, which is the goal, the concept of the solution and the main components of the scope, the main stakeholders and, above all, the project sponsor, the main risks, the milestones, what benefits come from the implementation of this project, the overall cost plan and who is the project manager.

Speaker 0: I've even dreamed of it. To sum up, the important stages that are worth noticing and applying. Initiation, planning, implementation and closing the project slash celebration.

Speaker 1: Exactly. That's exactly how it is. Listen, Thank you for today. We invite you to watch the next video. To receive notifications about new videos, subscribe to our channel and click the bell.
