What is Initiating Process Group?

Initiating Process Group

The Initiating Process Group contains processes to define a new project or a new phase of an existing project by obtaining authorization to start the project of phase. The Initiating Process group contains two processes:

• Develop Project Charter
• Identify Stakeholder

These processes define initial scope and initial financial resources. In this phase of the project, internal and external stakeholders who will interact and influence the overall outcome of the project are identified. Project Charter and stakeholder register are created in this phase. Although the project management team may help write the project charter, approval and funding are handled external to the project boundaries.
