Peta has been hired as the first in-house project manager at Sauce and Spoon restaurants to lead the pilot rollout of tabletop tablet menus at two locations. The upcoming activities will have the student progress from the project initiation phase to planning, where they will create a project plan by analyzing documentation to identify tasks, milestones, and time estimates for the tablet rollout. The project plan created will demonstrate skills around breaking a large project into achievable tasks and be an important part of the student's project management portfolio.

0:00 Welcome back. So far, you should have completed a project
charter for Sauce and Spoon's tablet rollout. The project charter helps you organize vital project information, create a framework for the work that needs to be done, and communicate those details to the necessary people. Once the project charter is created and confirmed, you'll use it to start the project planning stage. In the upcoming activities, we'll be progressing from the initiation phase of the project life cycle to the planning phase. Here, you'll put your knowledge and skills to work on a project plan, which is the central artifact a project manager builds during the planning phase. Most projects capture requirements in this artifact. The project plan you build for Sauce and Spoon will be a critical part of your project management portfolio. It will demonstrate your ability to break a large project into a set of achievable, smaller tasks. Before we get started, let's review the project scenario. Sauce and Spoon is a small but growing chain of restaurants with five locations. They've hired Peta as their first in-house project manager to launch the pilot of tabletop tablet menus at two of their locations. Throughout the course, you'll observe Peta as she works to complete this project in-scope, on time, and within budget. You'll create project management documents based on the scenario, just as you would if you were the project manager. As you work through these materials, you may want to take notes about project details in order to complete some of the activities. The project management documents you create will help you practice your skills by applying them to a real-world scenario. These documents will also provide you with a portfolio to speak to during a future job interview. In the next group of activities, you'll analyze conversations, emails, and other forms of documentation to build out a project plan. As you continue on, you'll identify tasks and milestones within the Sauce and Spoon tablet rollout. You'll also demonstrate effective communication techniques, like asking the right questions and practicing empathy, which will help you make accurate time estimates for each task.
