There are several common causes of failure: • The wrong business requirements have been addressed • It's not possible to deliver the business case • Governance is poor (e.g. sponsorship) • Implementation is poor (i.e. limited discipline) • The environment changes (e.g. business needs) All of these reasons for failure can be controlled by good project management!

UNCLASSIFIED PROJECT MANAGEMENT PROCESS GROUP Initiate UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED Importance of Project Initiation Initiating a project is a critical first step in getting the project started. During initiation the following activities generally occur: • Evaluating the ‘business need’ or ‘business case’ for the project; • Agreeing on a general approach for the project; • Identifying people that will be involved with or affected by the project; • Considering the project documentation to be prepared; • Deciding whether or not to develop a detailed project plan. UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED Discussion Question ? Discussion Question: What do you think the most critical activities are in project initiation? UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED Critical Initiation Activity: Project Approval Before any project is launched—regardless of size—it should be completely understood and approved by the executive accountable for its success. Why is gaining approval so important? There are several reasons: • There needs to be agreement among stakeholders of what the ultimate objective of the project is; 2. The full requirements of the project are completely understood in advance of launch; 3. All of the pertinent initiation information such as intent, description, known issues, risks, stakeholders, major milestones, cost data and team information should be identified and fully considered.
