Topic: Where Do Projects Come From?

In this week's reading and course materials, we have focused on the initiation process, and we have specifically talked about where projects coming from and how they may be generated. Thinking of the organization you work within or an organization that you hope to work with someday, I want you to identify at least four sources of projects. Select at least one internal driver and one external driver in this process.

In addition to identifying the four sources, provide an overview of path ideas that may take until the project arrives as being chartered assigned to a manager.

• What type of evaluation or pre-assessment may be taking place?
• Provide some insight into who are major stakeholders and influencers as ideas transition into actual projects.
