Projects of greater than 9 months should be organized as a program containing multiple, but discrete, medium and large projects. Regardless of size, all projects will need to address the factors described above. What will vary is how long it takes to execute, and the detail of the product. Project Initiation should be conducted in a relatively short timeframe when compared to the rest of the project. Small projects should take one or two days, whereas medium to large may take two to four elapsed weeks. Small projects will produce a Project Initiation Checklist. Medium and large projects will produce a Project Initiation Report
