Why is there a project Blastoff?

Purpose of the Project
To determine the purpose of the project the Business Analyst must understand what the project will achieve.
Done so by determining the project scope, stakeholders, constraints, estimated costs and risks.
Formality Guide
To start a project you must take account of the size of the project, the different sizes are:
Rabbit Projects: The project is short and brief, led by a brief meeting with a project work that can even be pinned to the wall and the scope is clear and briefly documented.
Horse Projects: Projects that take more than 6 months and have multiple stakeholders. It would need a start up meeting with deliverables recorded, distributed and communicated to the right people.
Elephant Projects: Projects are complex that have lengthy formal meetings. The documentations is detailed and signed off, making a risk analyst to review all the deliverables is also important. Sometimes more than one meeting required.
The blastoff deliverables—especially scope, stakeholders, and goals—are needed by any project, regardless of its size or aspirations for informality. Even a small change to an existing system needs to ask these questions. Any project must have a clear understanding of its goals if it is to avoid wandering aimlessly. Additionally, a project must understand the work to be improved; otherwise, it runs the risk of producing a solution in search of a problem.
