Phase 1 - Initiation

60 Hours

The initiation phase is the beginning of the project. In this phase, the idea for the project is explored and elaborated. The goal of this phase is to examine the feasibility of the project. In addition, decisions are made concerning who is to carry out the project, which party (or parties) will be involved and whether the project has an adequate base of support among those who are involved.

In this phase, the current or prospective project leader writes a proposal, which contains a description of the above-mentioned matters. Examples of this type of project proposal include business plans and grant applications. The prospective sponsors of the project evaluate the proposal and, upon approval, provide the necessary financing. The project officially begins at the time of approval.

Phase 2 - Planning

60 Hours

Setting goals for your team is the essence of the planning phase. Our project managers use a formal framework for setting and evaluating project goals with the S.M.A.R.T. approach. This methodology helps our project managers ensure that each team goal meets five important criteria:

  • Specific
  • Measurable
  • Achievable
  • Relevant
  • Time Bound

The S.M.A.R.T. framework helps our team create goals that are more meaningful and more closely aligned with our client organization’s overall strategy.
