Context:
A project is a temporary endeavour undertaken to provide an expected and beneficial
outcome. A project life cycle is the series of phases that a project passes through from its
initiation to its closure. Project goals should align with organisational goals such as improved
operations or increased revenues, reducing costs or improving efficiencies.
Before resources can be committed to a project, the reason for its proposal and the benefits
it is expected to deliver need to be understood by people in positions empowered to make
decisions about the expenditure of an organisation's resources. The selection of
organisational projects is typically performed through a method of classification and review
of the project’s business case. That method of course should be applied consistently to all
project proposals.
