Planning

Planning Phase

• The planning phase develops more detail plans on what has to
  be done, based on the information from the initiation stage
• Translates needs into more specific tasks
• For example, when we want to buy a house we need to do more specific things like checking the surrounding, transport, price etc

Initiation

Project Initiation

• Initiation is the first process of IT project management and deals with how a project begins
• A project does not appear from nowhere, it has to come from somewhere
• When there is a project, we do not jump immediately into implementing it
