003-The First 5 questions to ask whenever you start a new project (part 3 of 5)

Join us for our new podcast, the Project Management Happy Hour! In our first 5 pilot episodes, we are going to look at the first 5 questions you need to ask whenever starting a new project, whether you are:

Kicking off a fresh new project
Taking over an in-flight project
Scoping out a new project opportunity
Performing an assessment of a project that may be in trouble
Communicating an overview of a project to team members or stakeholders

Question 1 helped us define success for the project, Question 2 helped us understand scope and opportunity. With question 3, we're going to dig into cost and VALUE.
