As you explore the key components of this phase, you will learn how to determine a project’s benefits and costs, create measurable project goals and deliverables, manage project scope, and measure a project’s success criteria. You will learn how to define project roles and responsibilities, complete a stakeholder analysis, and utilize RACI charts.

I learned a lot about the initial phases of project management and the intricacies of jumpstarting a project. I liked being introduced to project management software that I was unfamiliar with.
