What you'll learn:

The activities that you perform first on a project are always determined by the project scope. The Defining Scope, Quality Responsibility, and Activity Sequence course introduces you to the project scope document, quality, and activity sequence. You’ll learn how to define what activities need to be done, who will be responsible for them, and in what sequence they will be performed. This course covers techniques and tools used to plan the work items, and the activities that need to be performed in order to successfully accomplish the project objective.

Concepts in this course support the following Project Management Knowledge Areas of the PMI Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide):

Project Integration Management

Project Scope Management

Project Quality Management

Project Resource Management

Project Procurement Management

This course is based on the PMBOK 6th edition, and may not fully prepare learners for the revised PMP exam. However, this course still qualifies for PDU's for any existing PMP to maintain their PMI certification.
