ICT Project Management Framework
The project lifecycle stages draws on the PRINCE2® project management method. The aim is to provide a consistent approach that is industry standard.
The project lifecycle has 5 stages: concept, propose, initiate, deliver, and close.

Projects and programs
A project is a temporary structure created to deliver one (or more) business products. Each activity within this structure should align to an agreed business case.
A program is a temporary structure. A program organises and guides the implementation of a group of associated projects. Each program should be strategy driven, aiming to achieve specific outcomes and benefits.
Project management involves the planning, delegating, monitoring and controlling of all project activities. It covers elements such as: time, cost, quality, scope, benefits and risks.
