A project lifecycle includes stages from start to finish. Which is a typical phase?
Correct Answer:
Initiation
Explanation:
In project management, the lifecycle begins with an initiation phase where the project is defined and authorized. This stage clarifies the purpose, sets high-level objectives, outlines the scope, identifies key stakeholders, and determines whether the project should proceed. The formal authorization, often captured in a project charter, creates a shared understanding and gives the green light to move into detailed planning. Budgeting, hiring, and marketing are typically addressed later—within planning or execution—rather than being the initial phase of the lifecycle. Initiation establishes the foundation and alignment needed before any detailed work begins.
