Key Learning Items
🌟 Understand the purpose of the progress theme: Why do we need it?
🌟 Learn the key concepts: baselines, reviewing, reporting, and control.
🌟 Know the minimum requirements: what you must do to manage progress.
🌟 Recognize the role of various PRINCE2 documents like the project plan, stage plan, and exception plan.
