project initiation

Project initiation is the first phase of a project where the main goal is to define its purpose, scope, and feasibility. It involves identifying the problem or opportunity, understanding what needs to be achieved, and determining if the project is worth pursuing. This stage includes key activities such as conducting research, evaluating resources, and creating a project charter or proposal. The goal is to lay a solid foundation for planning, ensuring that everyone understands the project's objectives and constraints before moving forward. Successful initiation sets the stage for smooth execution and stakeholder alignment.
