A project is in the initiation phase. Which of the following tasks will take place during this phase?

Developing a Work Breakdown Structure is a planning phase activity that occurs after the project has been formally authorized by the charter.

Defining detailed project requirements is a planning phase task performed after initiation, typically as part of scope definition and requirements gathering.

The project charter is produced during the initiation phase and serves as the formal document that authorizes the project, defines its high-level objectives, and names the project manager. According to PMI's PMBOK and CompTIA Project+ objectives, the charter is the primary output of initiation and must exist before any planning activities can begin. Without a signed charter, the project lacks official organizational sanction and a defined sponsor.

Acquiring project resources occurs during the execution phase, well after initiation and planning have been completed.
