orGAniZAtionAl influences And Project life cycle

Projects and project management take place in an environment that is broader than that of the project itself.
Understanding this broader context helps ensure that work is carried out in alignment with the organization’s
goals and managed in accordance with the organization’s established practices. This section describes how
organizational influences affect the methods used for staffing, managing, and executing the project. It discusses
the influence of stakeholders on the project and its governance, the project team’s structure and membership, and
different approaches to the phasing and relationship of activities within the project’s life cycle. The following major
sections are addressed:

2.1 organizational Influences on Project Management
2.2 Project Stakeholders and Governance
2.3 Project team

2.4 Project Life cycle
