Manage any project can seem overwhelming for the project manager. Small projects
can be also complex with several moving parts (Kerzner, 2017). Though, the best process for
managing the project successfully is to divide this into practicable phases and tasks also
follow the confirmed processes of the project management.
Five processes are present in the project management by which this selected project
that is making the electronic coffee maker named Brisk Brew is managed for successful
completion which are as follows:
i) Initiation of the project:
In this stage, the idea of this project is approved and the project charter is generated in
this stage.
ii) Planning of the project:
In this stage, the project plan is done and all the work are distributed among the team
member with respect to their skills (Lindhard & Larsen, 2016). This stage is very much
important for the success of the project.
iii) Execution of the project:
During this stage, the actual work is occurred. It is contained the quality, managing
the communications and the total team of the project.

There are several additional tips are available that are very useful for the success of
the proposed project that are described below:

identified risks with team for understanding there is any need to change this or not. When the
risk is recognized, decide how to diminish it from occurring also what will project manager
