Greetings,
I'd been assigned to lead a project to open a new distribution center for a mid size retail company. I am wondering what are my best options to be able to do this while being mentored by an experience senior PMP. Saving Changes...
Does the company have any documents or records from the last distribution center which they had opened as that might be a good source of learning.
Is there a charter for this project already? If not, developing it and getting it formally approved by the sponsor and other key stakeholders might be the first step you take.
A lot depends on the location as well - is the company taking over an existing building, will they be building a new one on vacant land, or is the land not even leased/purchased?

Hi Joel,
It sounds like a complex project. If the company has opened another distribution center in the past, I recommend retrieving the project documentation and reaching out to its project manager and sponsor. This will provide you a good starting point.
If not, the advice from Kiron and Abolfazi are worth investigating. Good luck.
