2.3.1 Domain Interactions: Initiation and Planning

This section details how performance domains interact during the early phases of a project.

Initiation:

• Stakeholder identification/analysis is paramount. Understanding who is affected shapes early direction. Initial Value concept defined (charter). Preliminary Uncertainty assessment occurs.
• Development Approach selected based on value, context, uncertainty. High-level Planning begins (charter, roadmap). Kick-off meetings occur. Team starts forming.
• Interactions: Stakeholder needs drive Value. Uncertainty influences Approach and Planning.

Planning:

• Planning becomes dominant: scope, schedule, cost, resources, risk, quality, comms plans. Component plans created. Stakeholder engagement plans refined.
• Team roles/charter established. Uncertainty analysis deepens (reserves). Measurement baselines established.
• Interactions: Dev Approach dictates planning style. Team capability influences estimates. Risk adds contingencies. Stakeholder input refines scope.
