# 5.1 Initiating Meeting
This is an **informal** meeting, usually between the **project initiator and the [[Project Owner (PO)]]**, and others who could potentially contribute to the creation of the Initiating Phase documents. The goal of this meeting is to introduce any **pre-project information** and **discuss the next steps**.
The result of this meeting is a better **understanding** of the **context** of the (future) project, as well as a **decision to move forward** with the creation of the **Project Initiation Request.**
**Documentation** and **[[lessons learned]] from previous similar projects** can also be used as input to this meeting.
