Task 1 1. 1 Project Life Cycle Project Life Cycle has four stages. It shows the life cycle of a project from when it begins to it ends.

d. Closure- This is the final step of the Project Life Cycle. In this stage, the project team members assist the end users to operate the project or service. The project team members are assigned other duties, and the resources which were used for the project are "released".
