Which stage would most likely involve creating a plan to obtain necessary resources and outline actions before startup?

• A. Resourcing
• B. Actualization
• C. Concept Development
• D. Discovery

Answer: (C)

Turning an idea into a concrete plan that specifies what resources are needed and what steps to take before launch is what this stage is all about. In Concept Development, you assess feasibility and map out the resources required—money, people, equipment, partners—and lay out a timeline with milestones and the actions needed to reach launch. This creates a clear roadmap you can use to secure what you need and begin moving toward actual development. Discovery is more about exploring needs and validating assumptions, while Actualization focuses on executing the plan. Resourcing concerns obtaining resources themselves, but the planning and outlining of actions before startup happen here, during Concept Development.
