. . . Tomorrow’s corporation is a “collection of projects”
. . . Everyone needs to learn to work in teams with multiple independent experts--each will be dependent upon all the others voluntarily giving their best.

Project Life Cycle?
1. Wild enthusiasm
2. Disillusionment
3. Total confusion
4. Search for the guilty
5. Punishment of the innocent
6. Praise and honors for the non-participants
![Page 14: Teamwork and Project Management Karl A. Smith University of Minnesota ksmith@umn](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56813b5d550346895da45538/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The prevailing view of the project life cycle is that projects go through distinct phases, such as:
• Conceiving and defining the project• Planning the project• Implementing the plan• Completing and evaluating the project• Operate and maintain project
A typical construction project has the following seven phases (Kerzner, 1998):
1. Planning, data gathering, and procedures2. Studies and basic engineering3. Major review4. Detail engineering5. Detail engineering/construction overlap6. Construction 7. Testing and commissioning

Project Manager’s Role Over the Project Life Cycle:
• Planning• Organizing• Staffing• Directing• Controlling
See Smith (2004) p. 67-68

Project Planning
Projects typically start with at Statement of Work (SOW) provided by the client. The statement of work is a narrative description of the work required for the project. A Project Charter is often developed. Planning starts with the development of a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). A WBS is ‘a deliverable-oriented grouping of project elements which organizes and defines the total scope of a project’ (PMBOK, 1996). There are typically three to six levels in WBSs -- program, project, task, subtask, etc. Developing a work breakdown structure is important for scoping a project, i.e., determining the specific tasks that have to be completed, choosing appropriate groupings for these activities, and setting precedence and interdependence (what has to follow what and what can be going on at the same time).
