For projects developing products in the Back End, once final funds are released and capital...

TheCInP Handbookdetails that in the Back End, after funding and equipment are secured, the Operations Team focuses on "preparations to ready the product for pilot and eventual launch." This includes pilot planning (e.g., small-scale testing) and launch logistics (e.g., supply chain readiness), ensuring the product is market-ready. Option A, "marketing collateral," is outside Operations’ scope. Option B, "production planning," occurs earlier in design phases. Option C, "start production," jumps ahead—pilots precede full production. Option D aligns with GInI’s sequence, matching the original answer, reflecting a phased approach where pilots validate scalability before launch, a risk-management strategy central to GInI’s Back End process.
