The correct start-up of a project is vital to achieving true business benefit. This course looks at the key elements needed for the successful initiation of a project.

It begins by setting the project within the business environment and then looks at the tools and techniques used to appraise the investment. In addition, consideration is given to how the project is structured and organised. In order to measure success, appropriate indicators are defined to evaluate the project at completion. The course reviews the designation of the success measures and how they are used at the completion of the project.
