Before You Start a Project… Watch This (Project Discovery)

Most project problems don’t start during delivery… they start right at the beginning. That’s why the Project Discovery stage matters so much. In this video, I’ll walk you through what project discovery really is, what happens during this phase, and why it’s absolutely critical — especially for complex or iterative projects. We’ll break the process down into five clear steps, from assembling the right team and understanding your situation, through to defining the problem, doing proper research, and evaluating your options. Along the way, I’ll also highlight the real benefits of doing discovery well — and what happens when you don’t. If you want fewer surprises, better decisions, and stronger project outcomes… this is where it all begins. 🎓 Learn Project Management with Mike: The Project Manager's Skills Mastery Program - https://school.onlinepmcourses.com/p/pm-skills-mastery Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMZfp1_wquyegVY9SoER0Nw/join Recommended Videos Carefully curated video recommendations for you: 🎬 Mastering Project Discovery: Conversation with Professor Elliot Bendoly https://youtu.be/5BcEvbbRFzI 🎬 Discovery Mode: Cheese or Owl? https://youtu.be/u78wBbWkWNo 🎬 Project Definition Briefing (Compilation) - aka Project Initiation https://youtu.be/KUoIO16XkBw 🎬 What Goes into a Complete Project Definition? https://youtu.be/KbhnzKNKry0 🎬 Project Definition: Three Big Questions about Your Project https://youtu.be/Fs5t6CpDbes 🎒 A while back, I asked Project Managers in a couple of forums what material things you need to have, to do your job as a Project Manager.
