Project Initiation Phase
The Project Initiation Phase is the 1st phase in the Project Management Life Cycle, as it involves starting up a new project. You can start a new project by defining its objectives, scope, purpose and deliverables to be produced. You’ll also hire your project team, setup the Project Office and review the project, to gain approval to begin the next phase.
Overall, there are six key steps that you need to take to properly initiate a new project. These Project Initiation steps and their corresponding templates are shown in the following diagram. Click each link below, to learn how Method123 templates help you to initiate projects.
