The Project Management Life Raft

The Project Management Life Raft is an innovative tool that is used by project managers and team members as an aid to complete their projects successfully.

It is divided into three distinct phases of work:

PHASE 1: PLAN THE WORK

PHASE 2: WORK THE PLAN

PHASE 3: STOP AND SHARE

Successful projects go though all three phases. The color scheme used on the chart

is similar to a traffic signal. Yellow means "CAUTION" or slow down. Green means  "GO"

and Red means "STOP".
