Starting up a Project

The purpose of the Starting up a Project process is to ensure that the prerequisites for Initiating a Project are in place by answering the question: Do we have a viable and worthwhile project?Nothing should be done until certain base information needed to make rational decisions about the commissioning of the project is defined, key roles and responsibilities are resourced and allocated, and a foundation for detailed planning is available.Starting Up a Project process objectives are to provide the Project Board with certain information and to prepare the Initiation Stage Plan 

Starting Up a Project Process 

The project mandate is usually the only document that exists when this process starts This is not enough information for the Project Board to make the decision to start the Initiation Stage.  Therefore, the purpose of this process is to provide the Project Board with the necessary information to judge if the project is worthwhile.  They use Project Brief, which will contain information on the Business Case.  Another important purpose of the Starting Up a Project process is to prevent poor projects from starting up.

There is a Business Case (business reason), and this should be documented in the outline Business Case. The Business Case document is not completed until the Initiation Stage. Create the Project Brief, which provides information on the scope of the project and most of the information collected during this process. 

The various ways the project can be delivered are evaluated and a project approach selected. Look at the project approach, which examines the best way to go about doing this project and obtaining advice from other projects in the form of lessons learned, specialists or even outside knowledge.
