PK0-005 Project Initiation Practice Question
Arrange the steps for initiating a project in the correct order.
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create project charter, then identify stakeholders, then obtain approval, then hold kick-off meeting
The correct order for initiating a project is: create the project charter, identify stakeholders, obtain project charter approval, and then hold the kick-off meeting. Scope definition occurs during the planning phase, not initiation. Option A lists these initiation steps in the proper sequence without including any extraneous scope-definition activities.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Create project charter, then identify stakeholders, then obtain approval, then hold kick-off meeting
Why this is correct
Correct: The sequence of initiation steps (create charter, identify stakeholders, obtain approval, kick-off) is in the right order, even though define scope is incorrectly placed here (it belongs to planning).
- ✗
Identify stakeholders, then create project charter, then obtain approval, then hold kick-off meeting, then define scope
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: Identifying stakeholders before creating the project charter is wrong; the charter must be created first to identify key stakeholders.
- ✗
Create project charter, then obtain approval, then identify stakeholders, then hold kick-off meeting, then define scope
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: Obtaining approval before identifying stakeholders is wrong; stakeholders must be identified to include them in the approval process.
- ✗
Hold kick-off meeting, then create project charter, then identify stakeholders, then obtain approval, then define scope
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect: Holding the kick-off meeting before creating the charter and identifying stakeholders is out of order; the meeting occurs after approval.
