Every phase is important in project management, but I think project initiation and planning is the most important. Planning phases defines the baseline that what is expected and required and to know if there are essential resources to complete the project. In planning explains the exact detailed steps that need to be taken during the project development life cycle. It explains breakdown structure (WBS) about the goals, objectives, project schedules, developing work b risks involved, deadlines. Planning phases is the foundation of the next project phases. The project manager in the planning phase determine the team identity roles, responsibilities and solidify scope statement.
