Project Planning and Implementation
Course code: 7STI-402
Course Description
A project is a set of activities with defined time and cost to achieve specific objectives, distinct from routine day-to-day operations. The stages of a project lifecycle include conception, feasibility study, project planning, project implementation, termination, and evaluation. Project planning is a crucial process that involves establishing the project’s scope, defining objectives, and developing action steps. Project implementation, on the other hand, is the execution phase where the project plan is put into action.
