Abstract: Project management is increasingly important to organisations because projects are the method \nby which organisations respond to their environment. A key element within project management \nis the standards and methods that are used to control and conduct projects, collectively known as \nproject management methods (PMMs) and exemplified by PRINCE2, the Project Management \nInstitute’s and the Association for Project Management’s Bodies of Knowledge (PMBOK and \nAPMBOK. The purpose of this paper is to apply the life cycle approach to PMMs, stimulate debate \non the accuracy and merits of the life cycle approach and to facilitate the development of the life \ncycle in the future. Currently no life cycle process exists for PMMs. Developed from desk-based \nresearch and empirical evidence, a life cycle has been proposed consisting of five stages: Select, \nEmbed, Tailor, Operate and Develop. The stages are explained and a call made for further \nresearch to develop and validate the life cycle model.
