I’m pretty sure it’s Initiation first, but I can’t recall if Monitoring and Controlling comes before or after Executing.

I’m really uncertain about this one. I feel like Executing should come after Planning, but I could be mixing it up with another question.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think the correct order is Initiation, Planning, Executing, Monitoring and Controlling, then Closing.

I think the phases start with Initiation, but I’m not sure if Planning comes next or if it’s Executing.
