The whole job from the first idea to the last lesson learned: tell a project from an operation, walk the four phases and PMI's five process groups, balance scope, time and cost, sort stakeholders by support and threat, write a charter with SMART objectives and an ROI, break the work into a WBS, estimate three ways, compute a critical path and tap the task with float on a Gantt chart, fill a risk register, talk a sponsor out of scope creep, read earned value, run Scrum's Sprints, close a contract and learn without blame, then see what the job pays and what the PMP asks.
