Projektphasen (EN)

Definition

Project phases are the logical sections into which a project is divided to ensure a structured approach. The main phases include Initiation, where the project is started and the framework conditions are defined, followed by the Planning phase, where detailed plans are created. The Execution phase involves the actual implementation of the plans, while the Completion phase provides for the formal termination of the project and documentation of the results.
