I. Project Overview
The project overview is the initial phase of any project where stakeholders come together to discuss and agree on the scope, goals, timelines, and deliverables. This step involves identifying the project's objectives, key performance indicators (KPIs), and critical success factors. It also includes defining the project's boundaries, risks, assumptions, and dependencies. The project overview is typically facilitated by a project manager or lead, who ensures that all relevant stakeholders are involved in the discussion. The outcome of this phase is a clear understanding of what needs to be accomplished, how it will be done, and when it should be completed. This information is then used as a foundation for subsequent phases, such as planning, execution, monitoring, and control.
