1. Overview

In this subprocess, we deal with the Project Phase A subprocess. Project formulation consists of two sequential phases, traditionally denoted as Phases A (Concept & Technology Development) and B (Preliminary Design & Technology Completion). The primary activities in these phases are to develop and define the project requirements and cost/schedule basis and to design a plan for implementation (including an acquisition strategy, contractor selection, and long-lead procurement). While not formally a part of formulation, some formulation-type activities will naturally occur as part of earlier advanced studies. These fall into a part of the project life cycle known as Pre-Phase A (Concept Studies).
