Phase 1 (bar)

Phase 1 (bar) refers to the initial stage of a multi-stage process, project, or development lifecycle, specifically when referencing a "bar" chart visualization of progress. It is often a preliminary period focused on planning, research, initiation, and the laying of foundational groundwork. The "bar" visually represents where the project is, specifically marking the initial stage. Completion of Phase 1 typically signifies the end of the project's initiation phase and the transition into a more active development or execution phase. It is a common term used in project management, software development, pharmaceutical research, and other fields that employ structured, phased approaches. The specific activities and deliverables associated with Phase 1 will vary depending on the context of the project or process.
