# 3.3 PM2 Phase Drivers and Key Artefacts
Projects depend on people to define, plan and execute them. These **project drivers change from phase to phase** in a PM2 project.
During the **Initiating Phase**, the **Project Owner (PO)** is the main driver, initiating the project and being accountable for all documentation.
In the **Planning Phase**, the main driver is the **Project Manager (PM)**, who is responsible for coordinating the delivery of all project plans.
The carrying out of the [[Project Work Plan]] and creation of the project deliverables in the **Executing Phase** is driven by the [[Project Core Team (PCT)]].
Finally, the **Closing Phase** is driven by the **stakeholders** who evaluate the project’s overall performance.
