Project Initiation and Goals Project Initiation is the process by which a project transitions from the Project Management Accountability System (PMAS) state of "New Start" into the state of "Planning". A project New Start state is a candidate for Planning once the project has been added to the Business Operating Plan and the Enterprise Project Structure identifies the funds released by the Information Technology Resource Management (ITRM). Projects require a Milestone 0 review to establish if in full compliance before transitioning to Planning. The Project Manager is responsible for establishing the Milestone 0 review through the applicable Office Of Responsibility. Goals The Goals of Project Initiation are as follows: - To determine if the business requirements are sufficient - To determine if the service level requirements are sufficient - To create a high level spend plan - To identify the project team - To ensure privacy requirements are determined - To ensure identity and access management requirements are determined - To ensure security and if needed, Compliance, Advising and Security Engineering (CASE) management requirements are determined - To identify the integrated project team - To ensure design pattern guidance is reviewed for the project's development activity types when determining the overall design approach - To determine if the project is ready for the planning state Project Initiation 12
