objectives
Task 1
LO 1 Establish project aims, objectives and timeframes
P1- Project aims and objectives
At the start of every project there will be a variety of ideas and opinions about the purpose and
scope of the project. The project initiation and planning stage is connected with taking these
ideas and intentions and developing them into a formal, planned, resourced and funded project.
The purpose of the Project initiation and planning stage is to establish the goals and structure for
managing the project effort. It is also necessary to develop a process by which the the project
objectives can be achieved. This process will typically involve carrying out a number of tasks
and producing a number of products during the course of the project. It is also very important to
arrange the tasks in a top down structure that specifies the required work in more detail (Lewis,
2011). The project initiation and planning stage must also define what resources and associated
time commitment are required to carry out the project. The work breakdown structure provides a
basis from which this estimation can be carried out. The resource and time commitment can be
used to calculate an end date for the project and an estimate of its cost (Laslo, 2010).
