IT Project Management Essentials: Initiating and Planning IT Projects
by Skillsoft
If you want your IT project to complete successfully, you need to get it off to a good start. During the early stages of a project – the initiating and planning phases – a project manager should clarify objectives and requirements and create a project plan that delineates, among other things, what needs to be done, when it needs to be done, and how much it will likely cost.

Manual tasks if not performed properly are a leading cause of serious worker injuries such as sprains and strains as well as permanent spinal damage and often can debilitate workers who may need to take leave from work for extended periods. The second greatest cause of workplace injuries are slips trips and falls at ground level and from heights – such as jumping from elevated surfaces – which can cause lower limb and back strains.

Barry is new at quality control. He completed three weeks of training but he has already made two major errors that cost the firm $3000. Hes obviously upset and discouraged over his shaky start.

Taking the time to evaluate a situation and making an action plan is part of the process of coaching for performance that youll explore in this course.
