This course focuses primarily on pre-project planning activities—the process of identifying and translating business needs into project requirements. You learn how to launch project initiation, develop stakeholder management plans and conduct requirements analysis. You also learn to justify projects through ROI analysis, feasibility studies and a comprehensive business case. As a result, you gain an understanding of the project charter as the output of comprehensive initiation processes that then guide project planning and delivery.
The course ends with an examination of how to launch project planning, with a look at team building, developing project infrastructure and project-kickoff activities.
Prerequisites:
Students must start with Project Management BUS ADM X470.
