Again, the goal of this section is to ensure that you truly absorb the materials taught during the class to a level that will allow you to answer exam questions confidently. In this section, you will go over everything you have already seen during the course, but this time, on your own. It is time to master the materials.
First, here are a few questions for you to think about and answer:
At your current workplace, are you involved in the process of starting a project in your organization? If yes, how is it done?
Now, after you took the course, what do you think about how projects are startedat your workplace?
Do you feel that now you have learned a better way of starting a project? If yes, what would you do differently? If no, why?
Read/skim through Lesson 2: Starting the Project in your materials.
You may consider combining the reading of the materials with watching the recording of the lessons listed in the Watch section.
However, make sure you are proactively absorbing the material and truly making the effort to understand it so you aren’t simply a passive listener.
