Create Website & Blog Like a Project Manager
Create Website & Blog Like a Project Manager
A project life cycle represents the linear progression of a project, from defining a project through making a plan, executing a plan and closing out the project. Since, GoldSEO.com is a blogging ideas website, we will talk about how we can implement all these project management styles into our web design or website management or into whatever we do everyday which are related to our websites. In the simplest form of project will have four categories as the picture above.
Define:
This phase begins when a project and a project manager are named and project rules are approved. In this case you will the project manager and your website will be the project. Once you define your thoughts you need to write them down as your goals for that website and that written document will be your agreement between you and your website.
Plan:
After you have written down your project, the project manager (you) will begin the project planning. You will plan your budget (how much you need to build the website), workload distribution (create a schedule that you can follow), resource allocation (getting someone else for help), and delivery time in this phase.
Planning and defining are short phases but they both play crucial roles in succeeding your project. A detailed and easy to follow plan is very much necessary if order for you to be able to excite it, which is the thirst step of managing your project.
Execute:
You are now performing the actual work as you have decided during your planning phase. This phase will take roughly 90% or more of projects effort. The execution plan is complete when the goal of the project is reached.
Close Out:
This is smallest and feeling good phase for your project that you have just finished, but no less important then others. Closeout activates typically include the following:
- Making transition to the next phase, whether another development of you project and move into a different project.
- Reviewing project successes and failures with a view to improving future project plans as well as developing new project plans.
Once again, if you agree/disagree or think otherwise then feel free to leave some comments. Thanks

Nice write up. I do website design in the Fort Wayne area (www.designedbyeh.com) and have developed a four step process for defining web project management:
1. Define
2. Design
3. Develop
4. Deploy
I like it since it alliterates. Very similar to your management process as well.
I also use the 4 step process to break down payments. 1/3 of a payment is due after the design phase, 1/3 after the develop phase, 1/3 after the deploy phase (meaning the site is live).
I really like your blog!
