Project phases may involve the same team or different teams. The work involved in project phases builds progressively so agile teams can iterate on work continuously. ## Example Say a team starts with a phase 1 project, and they complete their work. When they finish they will start work on phase 2 of the project. Phase 2 will continue work on the same kinds of deliverables to achieve the overarching outcome that's trying to be achieved.
## How it Relates to Other Components A product or service can involve many different phases of projects, each building on each other. Within a project phase, teams follow a [lifecycle](/project-portal/project-success-handbook/project-components/agile-project-lifecycle.md) of work that involves project milestones. Each [milestone](/project-portal/project-success-handbook/project-components/project-milestones.md) is a marker of progress. Each [milestone](/project-portal/project-success-handbook/project-components/project-milestones.md) within a project phase has [deliverables ](/project-portal/project-success-handbook/project-components/project-deliverables.md)that teams produce.
