Initiating Process Group

The set of activities used to formally approve and launch a new project or to start a new phase of an ongoing project by securing authorization to proceed.

Key Points

  • Provides formal authorization to start the project or a new phase, typically via a project charter or phase approval.
  • Identifies the project manager and key stakeholders early.
  • Defines high-level objectives, scope boundaries, assumptions, constraints, and success criteria.
  • Executed once per project and as needed for each phase before detailed planning begins.

Example

A sponsor approves the project charter for a company-wide CRM rollout, names the project manager, and confirms initial objectives, budget limits, and key stakeholders. With authorization in place, the team then moves into detailed planning.
