# Phases<a name="phases"></a>

A migration journey consists of phases\. For example, a journey might have phases named Assess, Mobilize, Migrate, and Operate\. When you create a journey from a template, you get a journey with the phases that the template defines\. When you create a custom journey, you get an empty journey with no phases, and you can start adding the phases that make sense for your migration scenario\.

This topic describes the actions that you can perform on a phase\. Your role determines which of these actions you can perform\. For information about roles and permissions, see [Roles and permissions](permissions.md)\.
