In this course for business analysts, development executives, and project management professionals, you learn how to come up with a good project idea, how to determine whether the idea is worth pursuing, and how to persuade your client or manager to accept your project. The concepts of innovation management, strategic market analysis, feasibility analysis, cash flow analysis and funding, capabilities analysis, estimation, preliminary project planning and return on investment, risk analysis, decision trees, and project proposals are covered in depth.
