A project life cycle that is iterative or incremental.
Adaptive Life Cycle
The process(es) performed to formally complete or close a project, phase, or contract.
Closing Process Group
Those functions performed to complete the work defined in the project management plan to satisfy the project requirements.
Executing Process Group
An adaptive project life cycle in which the deliverable is produced through a series of iterations that successively add functionality within a predetermined time frame. The deliverable contains the necessary and sufficient capability to be considered complete only after the final iteration.
Incremental Life Cycle
Those procedures performed to define a new project or a new phase of an existing project by obtaining authorization to start the project or phase.
Initiating Process Group
A project life cycle where the project scope is generally determined early in the project life cycle, but time and cost estimates are routinely modified as the project team’s understanding of the product increases. Iterations develop the product through a series of repeated cycles, while increments successively add to the functionality of the product.
Iterative Life Cycle
Those actions required to track, review, and regulate the progress and performance of the project; identify any areas in which changes to the plan are required; and initiate the corresponding changes.
Monitoring and Controlling Process Group
Those processes required to establish the scope of the project, refine the objectives, and define the course of action required to attain the objectives that the project was undertaken to achieve.
Planning Process Group
A form of project life cycle in which the project scope, time, and cost are determined in the early phases of the life cycle.
Predictive Life Cycle
A systematic series of activities directed towards causing an end result such that one or more inputs will be acted upon to create one or more outputs.
Process
A decomposed set of requirements and overall scope of a project using an adaptive life cycle.
Product Backlog
The series of phases that a project passes through from its start to its completion.
Product Life Cycle
Procedures that specify and create the project’s product.
Product-Oriented Processes
The series of phases that a project passes through from its initiation to its closure.
Project Life Cycle
A collection of logically related project activities that culminates in the completion of one or more deliverables.
Project Phase
