PROJECT INITIATION-PM's TO DO LIST

In project initiation phase PMs turn their attention on how to plan an authorized project. In this phase PMs develop two important project planning documents: the project charter (sometimes called project requirements definition or statement of work) that documents what the project will deliver and project management plan that documents how the project is to be delivered. If needed, supporting planning documents (risk management plan, quality management plan, contract management plan) might be created.
