Project Execution, Monitoring, and Control The project life cycle uses four phases to describe how a project starts, peaks, and declines as the project is delivered to the customer.

By doing so, they establish trust and promote transparency in communications. Project managers must obtain support throughout the organization including top management. Finally, they must manage outcomes by creating clearly defined project mission and objectives. Doing so promotes performance, motivation, and synergy (Anantatmula, 2010).
