During which Now Create stage are workshops conducted?

• A. Execute
• B. Initiate
• C. Deliver
• D. Plan

Answer: (D)

Workshops are planning activities used to gather requirements, align stakeholders, and build a shared understanding of what will be delivered. In the Now Create lifecycle, the planning stage is where you define scope, objectives, and the approach, and you collect input from key people to shape the plan and backlog. Holding workshops here ensures everyone agrees on what success looks like and what needs to be built before work begins, reducing changes later in delivery. Initiate focuses on starting the effort and securing sponsorship, while Deliver and Execute are about implementing and delivering the solution, not defining the plan. Thus, workshops are conducted during the planning stage.
