The Project Initiation and Planning (PMI PMP) is course 1 of 28 of the Project Management Professional Certification Program (PMI-PMP). The course is aligned with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK6) developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI).
Projects are complex undertakings that require a high degree of coordination from start to finish. A lot goes into planning, getting the work done, monitoring progress, and finally, closing the project. In this course, you'll learn what project integration management involves and why it's important. Once you have an understanding of what's needed to manage project integration, you'll learn about the first two processes.

The Project Charter, in particular, serves as a crucial foundation. It provides a high-level overview of the project goals, stakeholders, constraints, and even initial risk assessments. This document becomes a point of reference for decision-making throughout the project's life cycle. The Project Management Plan takes it further, with a detailed plan for execution, communication, resource management, and more.
