It is applicable to new system development projects and to maintenance projects for existing systems. What is a Project Management Life Cycle? A system development project is a set of activities that starts and ends at identifiable points in time and that produces quantifiable and qualifiable deliverables.

Project Life Cycle Project Initiation, Project Planning, Project Execution and Project Termination are the four general areas of the project management life cycle.
