This recording is from the current cohort. There are additional short videos this week from a previous cohort; these may be beneficial but are not mandatory viewing.

This is the introduction and the list of KSBs (Knowledge, Skills, and Behaviours) for Chapter 2: Project Context.
Chapter 2 will be delivered over three lectures during May, covering the following topics:

• What is a project?

• The differences between a project, a programme, and a portfolio

• Project initiation documents

A project is defined as a temporary endeavor undertaken to create a unique product, service, or result. Here are some key characteristics of a project:

1. Temporary: A project has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and resources.
2. Unique: The output of a project is not a routine operation, but a specific set of operations designed to accomplish a singular goal.
3. Progressive Elaboration: Projects are developed in steps and continue by increments, which means planning for the project is iterative and evolves as more details become known.

Once you have finished reading this chapter, please log your completion on APTEM. The suggested time for this activity is 2 hours.
