# 3.3 Collaborative Learning and Projects

Collaboration is a central theme in Agile learning practices. Collaborative learning and projects promote teamwork, creativity, and adaptability. This approach involves team formation, where students are grouped into teams that work together to complete tasks and projects.

Project-based learning (PBL) is common in Agile education, requiring students to engage in real-world projects that demand research, problem-solving, and creative solutions.

According to the Project Management Institute (PMI), a [typical project management process](https://www.smartsheet.com/blog/demystifying-5-phases-project-management#:~:text=Developed%20by%20the%20Project%20Management,%2Fmonitoring%2C%20and%20project%20close) includes the following phases :

1. <mark style="color:green;">Initiation</mark>
2. <mark style="color:green;">Planning</mark>
3. <mark style="color:green;">Execution</mark>
4. <mark style="color:green;">Performance/monitoring</mark>
5. <mark style="color:green;">Project close</mark>

Depending on the project complexity each phase may contain sub-phases.
