You have to understand this: project phases depends on the project life cyle you choose. I worked with the PMI as part of a group of people that have reviewed this into all the standards. To choose a project life cyle you have to understand your enterprise architecture to not fail. After that you have to understand that with basement on quality approaches (Agile, Lean, TQM, etc) you have project life cycle models (only two: predictive and adaptative), you have poroject life cycle process based on the models (waterfall, iterative, incremental, etec), you have methods based on life cycle process (SCRUM, DSDM, V, Spiral, etc), you have tools (any type of tools) to support the methods. If you do not have into account all these stuff mainly the point that everything you introduce into your organization will impact the organization as a whole then you will fail. Saving Changes...
