Type: Fill Checklist

The Project Initiation step is the first phase of a project's lifecycle, marking the beginning of a structured approach to delivering a specific outcome. This stage involves identifying business needs, defining project scope, and establishing key stakeholders' expectations. A clear understanding of the problem or opportunity drives the development of a concise project charter that outlines objectives, deliverables, timelines, and resources required. The Project Initiation step is critical in setting the tone for the entire project journey. It requires collaboration among cross-functional teams to ensure that all aspects are properly aligned with organizational goals. A well-executed Project Initiation phase lays the foundation for subsequent stages, including planning, execution, monitoring, and closure. Effective initiation ensures that the project remains focused on its core objectives throughout its duration.
