Phase 5

Phase 0 is the initial phase to objectively understand the project position before important decisions are taken.

In this phase, the focus is not directed at design or technical solutions, but rather on reading the project conditions as they are, including the context, the involvement of existing parties, and the decision patterns that have been formed.
