Why phasing
- Phasing minimizes the risks associated with the project.
- A number of opportunities for decision making are built into the project.
At the end of each phase the sponsor has an opportunity to alter the project:
- Continue as planned
- Continue with some alterations to the project
- Termination of the project
- Termination? Requires a great deal of courage. After all, a lot of time and effort has
already been invested in it.
- In general: benefits <> the costs, during each phase of the project.
1. The concept/idea
The concept phase of a project often results in a project proposal. If the proposal is approved
by management (the sponsor), the next phase may commence.
At this stage, the project exists only as a problem or an idea in the minds of those who have
thought it up (= opportunity).
A number of activities may be carried out:
- An investigation into the current state of affairs
- A rough estimation of the extent of the problem
- A determination of the aims or the desired results of the project
