👉 The peak project refers to the most critical or significant phase in a project's lifecycle, typically characterized by the highest level of complexity, risk, or resource intensity. It often marks a turning point where substantial decisions and actions are made that can significantly impact the project's outcome, whether positively or negatively. This phase usually involves major milestones, critical deliverables, and high-stakes problem-solving, setting the stage for either a successful completion or a major setback.
