The Six Phases Of Project Management - Development Phase

November 11, 2008 | Author: PM Hut | Filed under: Project Lifecycle Phases

The Six Phases Of Project Management - Development Phase (#6 in the Hut Project Management Handbook)
By Wouter Baars

During the development phase, everything that will be needed to implement the project is arranged. Potential suppliers or subcontractors are brought in, a schedule is made, materials and tools are ordered, instructions are given to the personnel and so forth. The development phase is complete when implementation is ready to start. All matters must be clear for the parties that will carry out the implementation.

In some projects, particularly smaller ones, a formal development phase is probably not necessary. The important point is that it must be clear what must be done in the implementation phase, by whom and when.
