Phase One

Where projects begin

Phase One refers to the initial stage of a multi-part plan, project, or process.

The numbering implies subsequent phases will follow: Phase one of construction begins next month.

In clinical trials, phase one tests a drug's safety in a small group before broader testing.

The term often appears in corporate or military planning, suggesting methodical progression toward a larger goal.
