This diagram, provided by Michael Taylor, a project manager with more than 30 years of experience, gives a clear look at who creates project leadership and how they do it, as well as the five types of processes that make up the lifecycle of a well-managed project.

The diagram, for instance, could be used in initial project planning sessions, in order to aid in scheduling the timeframe for transitioning from initiation processes to planning processes. Those are followed by execution processes, control processes and closeout processes.
