Explanation

The project management lifecycle consists of the standard process groups-Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling, and Closing-which are universal and apply to every project regardless of industry or type. The project lifecycle, however, is unique to each project or industry. For example, a construction project lifecycle has phases like design, foundation, framing, and finishing, while a software project lifecycle might have requirements, development, testing, and deployment. The PMI framework distinguishes these two: the management lifecycle governs HOW you manage, while the project lifecycle governs WHAT you are building.
