Feedback: The chapter lists four basic activities in a project—initiating, planning, execution, and closing. Initiation is the most important, yet it is often the least valued. Planning is where projects are formally defined but are often rushed for “quicker, better, faster.” Execution activities typically take the most time and resources. And closing activities are key in order to draw a line and effectively end the project and transition to maintenance/operational phases.
