About this episode

In the Initiating process group of the PMP exam, project managers are responsible for identifying and addressing potential problems. This can be a challenging task, as the project is still in its early stages and there may be limited information available.

  • Identifying potential problems
  • Assessing the severity of problems
  • Developing solutions to problems
  • Communicating solutions to stakeholders
