Module 2 – Start the Project
Every great project begins with clarity—about who’s involved, what’s expected, and how it will unfold.
This module moves you from concept to kickoff, helping you engage stakeholders, shape your team, and define the project’s direction.
You’ll build the foundation for communication, collaboration, and alignment that supports every phase that follows.
These lessons align primarily with Domain I – People and Domain II – Process in the PMP Examination Content Outline.
What You’ll Explore
- Stakeholder Identification and Engagement: How to find, understand, and communicate with every influencer on the project.
- Team Formation: Creating the right mix of skills, roles, and mindsets for delivery.
- Shared Understanding: Aligning objectives, ground rules, and success criteria across the team.
- Project Approach: Choosing predictive, agile, or hybrid methods that fit your environment.
