Project Cycle Management (PCM) is a structured approach to project management, which helps identify and coordinate activities in order to achieve specific objectives. The PCM process involves six distinct steps: planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation, communication, and closure. Planning lays out the goals and strategies for achieving them, while implementation and monitoring focus on carrying out tasks efficiently and effectively. Evaluation assesses progress and identifies gaps or issues with the project so far, leading to corrective actions as needed. Communication keeps all stakeholders up-to-date on any changes that occur during the process, while closure marks the end of the project and helps determine how successful it was. By following these steps, you can ensure that your project is well managed from beginning to end.
