Understanding project phases
At a high level, a project consists of three main phases, and each phase can consist of many sub-phases. Not all of these sub-phases are always present or in the same order as described in the following sections, but the following structure represents a typical large Power Platform implementation project life cycle.
In this section, we will provide a detailed description of the typical activities and outputs in all of the sub-phases of such a project for both the customer and the implementation partner.
