The first, project identification and selection, focuses on the activities during which the need for a new or enhanced system is recognized. This activity does not deal with a specific project but rather identifies the portfolio of projects to be undertaken by the organization. Thus, project identification and selection is often thought of as a \u201cpreproject\u201d step in the life cycle. This recognition of potential projects may come as part of a larger planning process, information systems planning, or from requests from managers and business units. Regardless of how a project is identified and selected, the next step is to conduct a more detailed assessment during project initiating and planning. This assessment does not focus on how the proposed system will operate but rather on understanding the scope of a proposed project and its feasibility of completion given the available resources. It is crucial that organizations understand whether resources should be devoted to a project; otherwise, very expensive mistakes can be made. \u00a0Thus, the focus of this unit is on this process. Project initiation and planning is where projects are accepted for development, rejected, or redirected.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Valacich, J.
