Managing conflict, implementation and post completion

Project implementation and control

There are several stages in the project implementation and control process, starting
with conceptual stage and running through to control.

4.1 Stage 1: Conceptual stage

 The aim of the conceptual stage is to finalise the design of the new product,
service or process before high costs are incurred in the development and
construction stages.

 Project team is brought together, under the control of the project manager.

 The team members will be allocated specific roles and responsibilities
depending on their skills.

4.2 Stage 2: Development stage

 Once the concept of the product, service or process has been well defined, the
development stage is where the project team needs to check that the concept
meets customer requirements.

 This can be achieved by trial product testing and subsequent consumer
feedback.

 Any problems noted at this stage of the process can be addressed and the
design can once again be amended before further costs are incurred.
