Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3...gotcha Mounir. I think the organization or even the stakeholders in a project can determine the phases/stages. I guess stages are just sub-phases that can be tailored more specific to the industry or type of project. Saving Changes...
Depends on an organization's standards and the specific delivery approach taken for a project.
Scrum purists might say there are NO phases on a project - just sprint 0 and every sprint afterwards :-).

Phase could be a "Discovery Phase" , which may have all the PMBOK process groups in it.
Phase could also be a "Solution Phase" which again may have all the PMBOK process groups in it.
Stages maybe typically milestones within a phase like , "High Level Solution options presented", "High Level costing estimates obtained"
But it seems like this is left to interpretation by various companies. Some may even consider PMBOK process groups as stages or phases. Saving Changes...

I guess Scrum purists know development but not project management :) Saving Changes...
You can have phase and sprints. Phases are more on the strategical level whereas sprints are more on the tactical level to get work done. The SAPActivate model is such thing. Saving Changes...

Mounir,
Depends on a metodology you use, a project area, and a particular company standards, of course. But even if you use a sprint system, this does not suppose the absence of separate project stages. Such a cyclic development process just means that these stages will be repeated in each sprint.
Project initiation, planning, launch, performance and monitoring, testing, acceptance by a customer, project closing. Divide each of the stages into smaller ones, or, otherwise, unite some them. Think of beautiful names unique for your company. Repeat stages within sprints. Minor differences for each team, but the essence is almost always similar :) Saving Changes...

My understanding is that traditionally, there are five stages of project management and these five stages create what is known as a project life cycle. Also, the project life cycle is a series of phases that represent the evolution of a product from initiation to closing.

Mounir, Depending on the methodology you use, formal project follows a 5 stage process: Initiation, Planning, Execution, Monitoring and Controlling, Closing.
Usually for agile or iterative development projects, planning and execution take place in short sprints, with the stages repeating until the project is completed to the customer's expectation and satisfaction.

Good way to think about it, in situations where scrum is applicable Saving Changes...
