The purpose of this phase is to determine what will be accomplished and identify constraints and risks. Key activities include assessing feasibility, identifying team members, and creating proposals and budgets. The primary output is the **Project Charter or Statement of Work (SOW)**. Phase 2: Planning Often called the most critical — and most neglected — phase, planning is where the team defines *how* and *when* the project will be completed. Tasks include setting clear goals, assigning responsibilities, refining budgets, and securing necessary approvals. The output is a **project plan document** approved by sponsors and key stakeholders. Poor planning here can cause problems throughout the entire project. Phase 3: Execution This is where the work gets done. The team carries out the plan, delivers the agreed-upon deliverables, and monitors progress against the schedule and budget.
