During the 'starting up a project' process, the project manager discusses the standard model for course development with the executive. The project manager then assesses how the Health and Safety Training Project will be delivered, including what products should be delivered in each stage.
Is this an appropriate way to carry out the 'plan the initiation stage' activity, and why?
During the initiation stage of a project, the project manager is responsible for planning the subsequent stages, which encompasses creating the project plan and defining what products should be delivered in each stage. The assessment of how the Health and Safety Training Project will be delivered, including product delivery in each stage, aligns with activities that are part of the initiation stage. Therefore, the statement indicating that this is appropriate in the 'starting up a project' process is incorrect because these detailed planning activities should be done in the initiation stage.
C should be correct answer.
A is correct because you have to have a stage plan for initiating a project
The products to be delivered in each stage are only understood and plan in the Initiating a Project process (specifically during the "Create the Project Plan" activity).
No, because subsequent stages are planned in the initiation stage as part of creating the project plan.
C. No, because subsequent stages are planned in the initiation stage as part of creating the project plan. The statement in the scenario indicates that the project manager is assessing how the Health and Safety Training Project will be delivered, including what products should be delivered in each stage during the "starting up a project" process. This approach is not appropriate because the "starting up a project" process is primarily focused on the pre-project activities necessary to prepare for the initiation stage.
