The Project Life Cycle is to enable the development of operable systems that meets stakeholder functional, physical and operational performance requirements in the intended use environment over the planned life of the system. The output of the design process is a system design base consisting of the detailed design, operating and maintenance documents.
The life cycle provides the context, discipline and tools to adequately identify, define and manage all system requirements in a balanced manner. It provides the discipline required to produce complete solution concept and system architecture. It also provides the discipline and tools to ensure that the resulting system meets all requirements that are feasible within specified constraints. over the project phases:
Project Proposal Phase
Project Initiation Phase
Project Execution Phase
Project Closeout Phase.
The Project Management Plan is a road map used in the project execution and generally includes:
- Project Organisation & Reporting Structure
- Project Life Cycle
- Project Risk Register
- Project Schedule
- Project Budget
- Project SHEQ Management Plan
- Project Monitoring and Control
- Communications & Stakeholder Plan
- Configuration Management
- Procurement Plan
- And More ….
The Engineering Life Cycle entails the Pre-Concept, Concept, Definition, Implementation and Operation phases as project phases. The concept and definition phases are design phases that entail concept, basic and detailed design :
