Projects come in all shapes and sizes so finding a common framework requires looking at projects at a high level. Below is a diagram (based off of pmbok) that I believe best encompasses a common framework for all project types.

Based on the diagram above I created a life cycle and responsibility chart. From here you can drill in further to see the common outputs of each phase of the project.
