Project Management Fundamentals

This module starts by deciding whether work is a temporary project, ongoing operations, or a program coordinating related benefits, then selects a life cycle that fits scope boundaries and uncertainty. Learners connect planning inputs, milestones, staffing, stakeholders, communication, and risks to an executable decision. The lessons assign decision rights to the sponsor, project manager, and team while distinguishing assumptions, constraints, risks, and current issues. A proposed addition outside approved scope becomes a documented change request, with effects and an authorized decision, rather than an informal promise. Practice compares meetings, focus groups, standups, and brainstorming by purpose and audience. The module closes by linking delivery, benefits, operational transition, and closure without treating these as interchangeable outcomes.
