Building a Team and Encouraging Communication

This approach includes discussing upfront:

Planned/ regular meetings

How formal the meetings will be held

Whether meetings will be held in-person, virtually or both

How the team will share and collaborate on documents

Where documents will be stored and how they will be version controlled

Project Phases, Life Cycles, and Incorporating User-Centered Design Principles

Projects are usually broken down into several distinct phases. Every single phase plans the work that needs to be completed and who is getting involved. Typically, in order to acknowledge the phase to be complete, particular deliverables need to have been finalized and handed off. Certain project teams, however, do prefer to implement fast pace, which is when phases are overlapped.

A lifecycle describes the starting and ending of the project; it denotes all of the phases together. While outlining the project's life cycle, the initial phase is treated as Step 0. It is generally the initial visioning and conceptualizing before going through the detailed design of the project. As per Project Management Institute, nearly all life cycles have four or five stages but some may have more.

The most common lifecycle approaches / methodologies are Waterfall and Agile. Irrespective of the approach you decide on, you will have to integrate user-centered design (UCD) and the related best practices and methodologies. Generally, the UCD process includes: Analysis, Design, Implementation and deployment

Creating a Schedule

Schedules are critical part of project management as they help you measure progress as the project continues to move forward. It also helps the team members to aware of their duties, the deliverables expected, and the agenda every person needs to follow to complete the project on time / within budget.
