The project cycle usually starts with the identification of user needs, ends with project products, and is comprised of business, budget, and technical aspects.Management elements—The ten categories of management responsibilities, techniques, and tools that are situationally applied throughout all phases of the project cycle by all stakeholders.Authors Forsberg, Mooz, and Cotterman are leading project management consultants who have helped shape the direction of project management thinking and culture.
