- Project Finance
- A method of funding in which the lender looks primarily to the revenues generated by a single project, both as the source of repayment and as security for the exposure. This type of financing is usually for large, complex and expensive installations that might include, for example, power plants, chemical processing plants, mines, transportation infrastructure, environment, and telecommunications infrastructure. Project finance may take the form of financing of the construction of a new capital installation, or refinancing of an existing installation, with or without improvements. In such transactions, the lender is usually paid solely or almost exclusively out of the money generated by the contracts for the facility's output, such as the electricity sold by a power plant. The borrower is usually an SPE (Special Purpose Entity) that is not permitted to perform any function other than developing, owning, and operating the installation. The consequence is that repayment depends primarily on the project's cash flow and on the collateral value of the project's assets. [D06145]

- Either:
- A term generally synonymous with project manager but used more widely in Europe than elsewhere, or
- A term preferred over project manager by some organizations because it more accurately reflects the leadership skills, in addition to management competencies, required of the person in charge of a project.
Editor's Note: Also used because the label "manager" has an official salary or organizational-level implication that is not granted to the project "leader". [D06148]

- Project Life Cycle
- The complete set of time periods through which a project passes sequentially in a logical and orderly manner. In its simplest form the life cycle consists of four major periods:
- Concept (where the project concept as a need solution is selected and defined)
- Development or Definition (where the concept is verified and developed into a workable plan for implementation)
- Implementation (where the implementation plan is carried out); and
- Closeout (where the project process is completed and documented, and the finished product is transferred to the care, custody and control of the owner.)
Progress through the project life cycle is identified by 'milestones', but these major periods should be separated by 'Control Gates' or 'Executive Control Points'.
Editor's Note: Since the period from Concept to Closeout is a logical and linear time progression, the term "Project Live Span" is a much better and more descriptive label. [D01429]

- While there are many different versions of the Project Life Cycle, all essentially contain the steps of germination of the idea, proposal and initiation, design and appraisal, mobilization of the team, execution and control, integration of the team and their work, testing, commissioning and handover of the project's product and closeout of the work. [D02626]
|

- The sequence of phases through which the project will evolve. It is absolutely fundamental to the management of projects, and is the only thing that uniquely distinguishes projects from non-projects. It will significantly affect how the project is structured. The basic life cycle follows a common generic sequence: Opportunity, Design & Development, Production, Hand-over, Post-Project Evaluation. The exact wording varies between industries and organizations. There should be evaluation and approval points between phases often termed "gates". [D03748]
|
CRMP |
- All phases or stages between a project's conception and its termination.
Note: The project life cycle may include the operation and disposal of project deliverables. This is usually known as an Extended Life Cycle.
Editor's Note: This Editor disagrees. The definitions of Project are clear and do not include Operation and Disposal. The Extended Life Cycle as defined here should be referred to as the Product Life Cycle. [D04590]

- Project Life Span
- The four sequential major time periods through which any project passes, namely:
- Concept
- Definition
- Execution (implementation or development)
- Finishing (commissioning or close out).
Each period may be identified as a Phase, or major phase on larger projects, and further broken down into stages that typically reflect the area of project management application and the size and complexity of the specific project.
Editor's Note: Since the elapsed time from Concept to Finishing is a logical and linear time progression, the word "span" is more appropriate than the popular word "cycle". [D01432]
