Professionals with less than two years of project-related experience in the commercial construction industry, experienced construction specialists considering a career move into a PM role, and individuals working in companies that have adopted a team-based management structure for projects.

Unit 2 Overview: This unit focuses on the first 2 process groups of Project Management: Initiating and Planning. This unit introduces the Initiation process group of Project Management. The instructor will cover the types of stakeholders involved in a construction project, from initiation to completion.
