Project Initiation Documentation

The Project Initiation Documentation becomes a common understanding for all points related to the project. It provides a solid base for the project, makes all parties clear about what the project is intended to achieve and the responsibilities. So this provides the what, why, who, how, when and cost of the project

The documentation provides the necessary information for the Project Board to decide to continue with the project. If the project proceeds, then the Project Initiation Documentation will be baselined, meaning it will be dated (time-stamped) so that it can be used in the future to check project performance compared to the original forecasts.

The last task done by the Project Manager in the Initiation Stage is to request to Deliver a Project; this request is sent to the Project Board.
