Unit 4 Introduction Video

Although project execution is often considered the phase of the project that takes the most time to complete, project planning is the phase that starts to refine the goals, objectives, and deliverables for the project so that execution is effective and efficient. In planning, the project team seeks to thoroughly define the scope of work, schedule, resources needed, and a plan for monitoring and controlling costs. Finally we look at how to plan for project risks, quality, and procurement needs. You can start by reviewing the unit learning outcomes and then reviewing the unit resources.
