 One product (Generally Sequential life cycle)

                  --> May contain one to many projects within

                                --> Each project may contain one to many phases

                                              --> Each phase must have 5 process groups in the order (I P E MC C)

                                                     but with tailored processes and phase relationships (Sequential,

                                                     Overlapping, Iterative)

                                                     [Project phases are not Process groups]

 

Hope you will clear any Q twisted in this area. :)

As each stage of product life cycle would be considered as a Phase and within that we can have project lifecycle and product lifecycle goes in sequence.
