Project Management: Project Launch, Work, and Scheduling

This course will be useful for anyone who might need to perform project management activities in their job roles on either a formal or informal basis, or any individual who wants to build upon their current project management knowledge to be more productively involved on a project team. In this course, you'll define project management basics and identify influencing factors. You'll also identify project stakeholders, authorize a project, and identify the project scope. Then, you'll develop a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), identify activity resources, estimate time, plan an adaptive project, develop a project schedule, and create an initial release plan. This is the first course in a multi-course Specialization. All of the courses in this Specialization require that you have a recent version of Microsoft Word and Excel installed in order to open the course data files. The course setup instructions provided in the first module of this course go into more detail about the hardware and software requirements.
