Abstract
Any project in its initiation phase includes a number of uncertain variables and undefined requirements or constraints. There arise a number of problems if the project is started without clarifying them. It becomes difficult to accurately control and manage the subsequent project activities, making it unavoidable, in most cases, to abate or change the plan during the running of the project. It is also unlikely that the project will be completed successfully. What's most important is how to clearly identify and appropriately address uncertainties before proceeding any further, while efficiently including them in the project charter and other documents. Based on the analysis of inquiries made to the people in the position of overseeing projects, this paper proposes one approach to eliminating uncertain factors at the initiation of the project.
