You've been handed a project. Maybe you asked for it. Maybe it landed on your desk. Either way, the clock is running and nobody's going to hand you a playbook.
Most new PMs learn the hard way: through missed deadlines, angry stakeholders, and projects that slowly drift into chaos. They pick up fragments from Google searches, borrowed templates, and whatever the last PM left behind. It works, barely, until it doesn't.
Project Management Foundations is different. In four hours, you'll walk through the exact sequence that experienced PMs use to take a fuzzy idea and turn it into a shipped outcome. Not theory. Not certification prep. The real moves.
You'll leave with five things every PM needs from day one:
Charter: Scope a project so it can't scope-creep you later.
Plan: Break work down so estimates stop being guesses.
Risk: Spot what's going to break before it breaks.
Stakeholders: Know who to talk to, when, and what to say
Status: Report progress so leadership trusts you and leaves you alone.
These are the fundamentals. This is where you start.

What a Project Actually Is (And What a PM Actually Does)
Get a clean mental model of the project lifecycle. Know the difference between PM work and "doing the work." Walk out with a one-sentence answer to: what is my job?
- 9:30AM EDT
The Charter: Scope It Before It Scopes You
Draft a one-page charter for your real project. Lock down problem, objective, success criteria, and constraints. Leave with a charter you can send to your sponsor tomorrow.
- 10:00AM EDT
The Plan: Break It Down, Estimate It Honestly
Turn a fuzzy goal into a work breakdown structure. Apply three-point estimation so your timelines stop being wishful thinking. Pick waterfall or agile based on the project, not the trend.
