Project initiation : This phase mark the beginning of the project, at this stage a study will be conducted in order to determine the viability of the project. If at the end of the study the result gave a green light that they can actually carry on with the project then they will move to the next stage of the project.

Project planning : This is the phase at which a detailed guide to the course of action about the project will be put in place. It shows what should be done and how it will be done in order to achieve the desired objective of the project. when the plan is in place then they will move to the next stage

In this stage, the resources needed to carry out the project will be given to the contractors hired to execute the project, materials needed to execute the project will be purchased, the progress meeting will be held to know if the project is well on track, and if need be changes are made to the project plan. When this is done then they will move to the next stage
