About this course
A project plan is useful when it helps a team decide what to do, who will do it and what evidence will justify the next investment. This course starts with the customer problem, then develops the business model, feasibility assessment and delivery plan.
Activities cover pricing and unit economics, objectives and measures, task breakdown, schedules, responsibilities and risk. The final project brings the work together with a small launch test and a first-90-day plan. English and Arabic teaching editions are available.
Compared with the feasibility course, this course spends more time on strategy, organising delivery and launch. The applied plan gives learners a basis for discussion with their team or project sponsor; the course assessment checks understanding of the method.
