PROJECT LIFE CYCLE
Project management cycle can be defined by PMI as a chain of phases a project undergoes from
the initiation stage to completion. Thus, it provides the crucial framework that is used in
managing the project. According to PMI, there are several determinants to the life cycle of a
project, technology used, the industry the project is in and the general characteristics of the
organization managing the project, (Lock, 2017). Every project initiated has a definite start date
and end date, specific deliverables, activities to be completed vary greatly.
Management and proper running of any project highly depend on its life cycle. This is because it
provides a more basic management framework for the project. The complete success of the
music club will be highly dependent on the accurate life cycle.
The music club will have a basic and clearer chain of event that will guarantee its completion in
the stipulated time. The life cycle will have a start date, organization, and preparation of
activities involved, implementation of the activities set and the closure date, (Thiry, 2016). The
project will put into practice the PMI structure that ensures that its life cycle is linear, follows
well-set steps and there is defined the start date and completion date. The following
characteristics will be put into consideration;
1. At the start of the project, incurred costs and staff members are few. The trend picks as
the project is carried and more activities are carried out. With the project coming to
completion, the two variables drop rapidly.

2. Starting the project pose greater risks and uncertainties. This reduces as the project moves
towards completion as better decisions are arrived at and parties involved accept
deliverables.
3. Influence on the products of the project with no impact on the costs is greater at the start
of the project and they reduce as the project moves towards completion.
4. The cost incurred while correct the errors made increase as the project moves towards
completion.
Adaptive lifescycle
Construction of a music club at UNISA city west campus will take the adaptive life cycle given
the dynamics that are in the music industry and the requirements that are needed a music house,
(Rausch, et al 2016. Vol. 1). The entire requirement will not be predetermined as they may be
subjected to a high level of changes. This will allow the execution of the project to be
incremental and iterative overtime. The idea behind this choice is to decompose each phase of
the project is decomposed and connected to each other.
Project Phasing
In order to successfully construct the music club, related activities in the project should be
logically set. Phasing is important since it enables optimum management control. It is due to the
definition of activities to be carried at any given level of construction.
