resources are collected for the project, which are helpful for calculating project cost and
estimated time of completion of project. It is a difficult task, because of project estimation. It is

project planning, so it will finish on time limit.
Project Execution: In this stage, project is going for approval in front of senior managers and
other management personals. Project manager is ensuring about the project controls, and
working. Project is checked based on different criteria, such as timeframe, cost, and quality of
