Stage One

Stage One, often called the "initiation phase," marks the beginning of a project or process. It involves clearly defining the goals, scope, and objectives. During this stage, planning takes place, resources are identified, and stakeholders are engaged. The focus is on setting a solid foundation to ensure the project is well-understood and feasible. Properly managing Stage One helps prevent misunderstandings, reduces risks, and sets the stage for smoother progress in the subsequent phases. Overall, it’s about laying the groundwork needed for successful development and implementation.
