Explanation

When a project manager is first assigned to a new project, before developing any plans or scope, they must first understand the foundational context: reviewing the resource pool (E) reveals what human and material resources are available to accomplish work, and reviewing the project objectives (F) ensures the PM understands what the project is trying to achieve. Developing a project management plan, preliminary scope, and detailed plan all come later in the planning phase. Reviewing project objectives and available resources are the earliest orientation activities that inform all subsequent planning decisions.
