 Welcome to Project Skills for Non-Project Managers. What we're going to be talking about today in our first lesson is actually planning the project. Our objectives for planning the project in this lesson are being able to plan the project in its parameters, including its scope, requirements, resources, and constraints. And we're going to talk about all of these items specifically on an individual basis. First thing we're going to do is actually define the project requirements. That includes looking at the resources that are needed, any limitations that might be a factor, and workplace expectations. Resources can include contributors who are going to help you with the project, the budget, per se, any tools or equipment that you're going to need. Limitations are really limitations of the project management role, especially for those of you who are not project managers on a daily basis. And then workplace expectations are really how are we going to work on the project, what's the timeline, what do we expect of the contributors, and what is the expectation overall for communication and debriefing and feedback as well. Then we're going to talk about creating your project plan. And that's essentially what is your strategy for this project plan. So once you define the project requirements, you've got to think about your strategy to actually implement the project and to launch it and to get it going. So we're going to talk about each one of these individually and let's take a look at defining the project requirements first.
