Course Description
The Plan and Define Project Scope (PMI - PMP) is course 6 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).
Your project is all approved, and you're ready to get started. What's the first step? You need to figure out exactly what the end result is going to look like based on the customer's needs.
In this course, you'll learn how to plan scope management for your project, use the collect requirements process to gather and refine stakeholders' requirements. And then how to turn those into your scope statement with the defined scope process.
1. Defining Project Scope
2. The Plan Scope Management Process

The importance of schedule control can't be overstated. Every project, no matter how well planned, encounters unexpected roadblocks and delays. The skills you learn in this course will empower you to become a proactive problem-solver. You'll learn to analyze potential issues before they become crises, understand their wider impact on the project, and develop creative solutions that maintain momentum. This isn't just about keeping a timeline; it's about giving your project the resilience to adapt, overcome challenges, and ultimately reach a successful conclusion.
That’s it! Now go ahead and push that “Take this course” button, and see you on the inside!

Too much talking with little examples and no slides for what is talking about except topics
By Stelian Radu on 3/13/2022
The Plan and Define Project Scope (PMI - PMP) course is the best I've ever taken. instructor Sorin knows his stuff, but more importantly he's funny enough for me! It'll make you laugh out loud in class without even meaning to do so--which actually improves our learning process by making us engage with what we're studying on an emotional level too.
By Eckhart Meixner on 3/9/2022
The Plan and Define Project Scope course was great. Sorin is a fantastic teacher, who has impressive training skills that he teaches very well! The lessons were really helpful for my business's needs - I would definitely recommend this program to others looking into expanding their company or just starting out in consulting fields.
By Emiliana Boerio on 3/8/2022
A very good course. It's an excellent opportunity to learn project management skills and concepts, which are otherwise difficult to find in one place! Sorin the teacher does not disappoint - he provides engaging examples that make these topics much easier than they might otherwise be.
By Florianne Marchand on 3/6/2022
The course is great! Sorin the instructor has been a fantastic teacher and I have enjoyed every minute of it. His knowledge base in Risk Management for PMI Certification Plan makes him an excellent resource, not only because he's very knowledgeable but also patient enough to explain things thoroughly without any hurry whatsoever which helps me better understand the material
By Darya Polzin on 3/6/2022
I have enjoyed the past two courses that I've taken from you. Sorin is an excellent instructor and his lessons are very engaging! The Plan & Define Project Scope course was helpful in understanding how to plan out my projects more efficiently with all relevant information pertaining specifically just for me, not someone else's needs or desires as well- rounded planning can do

Sometimes we take things for granted, in terms of what we know or how to improve our skills. This course reflects a lot of tweaks to how to speak properly, many of which if used will create a big improvement in our overall communication techniques, which is a much needed skill everyday.

It was really a great tutorial, thank you for creating this. I would like to add two things - one is at some point I felt a little bit faster though I slowed down the speed of the video and the other is the lack of resources. Again this was an absolutely amazing tutorial I ever came across. Thanks once again!

I wish I had this course before I started applying for data science positions. It can be very difficult to find informative tips as there are so many information online, but this course includes ALL information you need to know to start a career in data science. I highly recommend checking Ken's course out especially if you are struggling learning data science or if you don't know how to even start your data science journey.

The author sounds really dull, even with him muted, reading the CC is hard to follow. It feels like he is reading a book that is not so well written. Contents are alright, it is good basis, but I feel like he could apply storytelling. This way it is more interesting. I gave 2 star, because he might as well just put the PDF on here. I would be happier. I can read it myself and e-mail him for question.
