Project cycle management

Project cycle management (PCM) is the term given to the process of planning and managing projects, programmes and organisations. It is used widely in the business sector and is increasingly being used by development organisations. Development projects sometimes fail because they are badly planned and do not take account of some important factors, particularly the needs and views of stakeholders. PCM is based around a project cycle, which ensures that all aspects of projects are considered. A central value of the PCM method is that aspects of the project are reconsidered throughout the project cycle to ensure that any changes which have occurred are included in the project design. As a result, projects are more likely to be successful and sustainable.
PCM involves a set of planning tools which feed into the logical framework (commonly known as a log frame). The log frame is a table which gives a summary of the project plans. Some donors now expect log frames to be submitted alongside project proposals. Log frames can seem quite complex to many people. This means that some organisations find they are unable to access donor funding. This book explains the process of completing log frames in a simple way in order to increase the ability of organisations to access such funding. However, organisations may want to start to use the log frame for all their projects, whether they are applying for donor funding or not. This is because the process of completing the log frame is in many ways more useful than the end product. The process is important for project success, sustainability and organisational learning.
