4.2. Inception May Be Very Brief
The intent of inception is to establish some initial common vision for the objectives of the project, determine if it is feasible, and decide if it is worth some serious investigation in elaboration. If it has been decided beforehand that the project will definitely be done, and it is clearly feasible (perhaps because the team has done projects like this before), then the inception phase will be especially brief. It may include the first requirements workshop, planning for the first iteration, and then quickly moving forward to elaboration.
