At what phase in the project life cycle are resources needed at their highest?

Initiation Phase
Implementation/Execution Phase
Planning Phase
Closing Phase

The correct answer is: Implementation/Execution Phase

The Implementation/Execution Phase, as the project is being actively worked on, is when resources are needed at their highest. The Planning Phase comes before the Implementation/Execution Phase, so resources would not be in full demand during that phase. The Initiation Phase is the beginning of the project, so resources are still being allocated and organized during this stage. The Closing Phase is the end of the project, so resources are no longer needed at their highest as the project is being concluded. Therefore, the Implementation/Execution Phase is when resources are needed at their highest as the project is in full swing.
