Twisted Question :- How many phases are there in software project ?

Life cycle of a project

There are five stages of any project initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closeout.These are very general phases and change according to domain.Example whenwriting a book i will have following mapping’s initiating(contacting publishers,getting copy right etc.), planning(Table of contents of book ,Number of chapters , tool to use,chapter wise deadlines etc), executing(Actually writing the book), controlling(proof

reading , language checks , page alignments etc), and closeout(Finally printing and on the shelf for sale).So this classification is at very broader level , for software development the above figure shows the mapping.

During Software project management interview expected answer is requirement phase, design phase ,coding phase , testing phase and project closure.But you can just impress the answer by giving a general answer and then showing the mapping.
