What does the term 'sequential phases' imply in project management?

  1. Phases that must be completed at the same time

  2. Phases with unclear requirements

  3. Phases that depend on completion of previous phases due to uncertain information

  4. Phases that are planned but not executed

The correct answer is: Phases that depend on completion of previous phases due to uncertain information

Sequential phases in project management refers to the concept that each individual phase must be completed before moving onto the next phase. This ensures that the project progresses in a logical and organized manner. Option A is incorrect because completing phases at the same time would lead to complications and overlapping tasks. Option B is incorrect because unclear requirements can delay or disrupt the project, but it does not involve the dependency of phases. Option D is incorrect because planned phases are typically executed in order to complete the project successfully. Therefore, option C is the most fitting explanation for the term 'sequential phases' in project management.
