The purpose of the Initiation Phase of a Project is to Identify, Scope and Gain Initial Approval for a Project or Projects that will deliver tangible benefit to the business.

Key Players The key players within the Initiation Phase are:

• the Business Sponsor who is responsible for sponsoring and championing the proposed project initiative and for monitoring its progress.
• the Sponsor’s Representative, who is responsible for registering and scoping the project, producing the necessary documentation and obtaining the required authorisation for the project to progress.
• the Finance Division which is responsible for assisting in the preparation and production of projected costs and anticipated benefits for inclusion in the Initial Business Case.
• the Audit or Control Division, if it exists in the business or corporation, which is responsible, separate from their role as potential end Users, for ensuring that corporate guidelines, procedures and standards are followed.

Process Description
The originator of the idea should identify a potential Business Sponsor and discuss and agree sponsorship of the proposed initiative. In instances where the proposed initiative is already included in agreed business plans, the Business Sponsor will be the originator.




Recommended Responsibilities
The Business Sponsor should:

• confirm that the proposed initiative is in accordance with the overall business strategy and plans;
• confirm that it will be managed as a project;
• appoint the Sponsor’s Representative for the Initiation Phase;
• identify the availability of funds;

The Sponsor’s Representative should:

• register the project with the appropriate planning and management area;
• formulate a detailed plan for the Initiation Stage;
• establish a team for the Initiation Stage;
• scope the project, involving or consulting with interested parties, to ensure there is no duplication of or overlap with other initiatives;
• prepare an Outline Schedule for the rest of the project;
• prepare the Initial Business Case to include:
• the business objectives and how they will be addressed;
• a brief and considered statement of what the project will deliver;
• an explanation of how this will benefit the Users and the corporation;
• the likely costs and benefits of the project;
• issue the Initial Business Case for review and agreement to:
• the Business Sponsor;
• the appropriate management area;
• Finance Division;
• any other interested parties required to provide input;
• obtain approval for the Initial Business Case from the Business Sponsor, and any other authorised signatory as appropriate;
• submit the approved Initial Business Case to the appropriate management area to obtain the appropriate resources and confirmation of the availability of the required funding;

The Business Sponsor should be responsible for continually monitoring the progress of the Initiation Stage. If at any time he/she has doubts about the benefits or risks of the project, or that it will support the real business needs, it is the responsibility of the Business Sponsor to reconsider the initiative and, if necessary, terminate the work.

Compared to settling your trade and counting those pennies, entering the market should not represent too much of a problem. However, I still see people regularly jumping in randomly when a few minutes of caution would pay dividends. This is because the average tennis bet trader is obsessed with exit points at the expense of the entry point. It is a common oversight that should be corrected.

I am always asked to give tennis trading advice but hardly anyone asks about the entry point. This is because many people simply log in to their bet exchange account and dive straight in to the market without a second thought. That well known phrase ‘fools rush in’ certainly springs to mind. The point at which an inexperienced trader enters the market is often overlooked and this is pure bad practice, it is as simple as that.

Can things go wrong after entering the market? Well, in a nutshell, yes they can. For a start, you can place your initial bet and be presented with the awkward position of the price swinging against you. There is nothing more disheartening than placing a lay bet of 2.5 only to see the price collapse to odds-on a few seconds later. By carefully selecting your entry point, you can minimize the chances of the aforementioned problem occurring.

I have always compared entering the tennis trading market, to sledging down a hill in the snow as a child. Ideally, you would want to start your run from the top. If that were not possible, as near as you could get to the summit. Even if that meant starting your descent from only half way up. This method of starting your trade means you are giving yourself the best possible chance of succeeding.

Do not discard this piece of tennis trading advice. Just because the masses ignore the entry point does not mean it has no importance. The tennis bet trading markets are becoming increasingly competitive. This means you have to analyze every aspect of your trading practices if you want to stay out of the red. If you can develop a habit of entering the market at opportune moments, it will have a positive effect on your profits.
