Writing to get things done always starts with a strong opening paragraph. When opening paragraphs are confusing or don’t grab the reader’s attention, the reader typically stops reading and thus does not find out about critical information or what needs to get done. A good opening paragraph is essential to your success as a business writer. This is the paragraph that sets the tone of your writing, states what you want to get done, and will let the reader know what your communication is all about. By completing this course, you will be able to write an effective opening paragraph. This course has been approved for 1 hour of PDU credit from PMI (Project Management Institute).
