Aligning the CII Feasibility and Stage Gate
Processes with the PMI Project Life Cycle
- Ben Voivedich, Jr., PMP
Focus of the Presentation
Traditionally the PMI PMBOK views the project life
cycle in terms of processes related to project
initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and
control, and closeout. However for capital projects
in the energy markets (e.g. oil, gas,
petrochemical, utility), the project life cycle starts
long before project sanctioning and the initiation of
the project. This presentation will review a five
phase Capital Project life cycle used by PMCC and
discuss several practices related to the phases that
can help improve project performance.
