Chapter 3 of 7Identifying Risks

3:20 / 6:00

In this chapter we follow a project from kickoff to delivery — how scope, time, and people interact, and why even well-planned projects drift without active management.

In this chapter

Using real project scenarios, you will learn to plan the critical path and spot the early warning signs that a deadline is at risk.

You will leave knowing exactly which three questions to ask before committing to any deadline.
