Description
Deeply Practical Project Management Course (earn 16 PDUs). I first learned project management while working in the aerospace industry, where project success is essential. The largest project I worked on was a $3 billion helicopter integration. I was also part of the PM team for a $140 million aircraft retrofit project, and was project manager for a $55 million software project, a $20 million systems integration project, an enterprise process improvement, and a number of other projects. Then I became a consultant and helped dozens of other organizations with project management. By far the most important thing I learned is that project management should give more than it takes. In other words, it should be simple, efficient, and *deeply* functional. This course is your practical companion to the PMI PMBOK and describes how to apply the essential discipline of proven PM processes to manage your projects of any size and scope in the simplest, most practical way possible. This is how PM is done in real life by the most professional organizations. At the end of the course, you will not only understand project management, but you will also be able to *do* it as efficiently as we know it. You will also receive a certificate that identifies you as a hands-on project manager and gives you the right to put PPM behind your name. Thousands of people now list their PPM credentials on their LinkedIn profiles. The course is complete and comprehensive, broken down into over 200 easy-to-follow videos of just a few minutes. First, an overview of all the basic concepts is given. Then, the very important role of the project manager and the keys to team management are described. Then, the essential PM processes are mapped out along the project timeline and the specific actions you need to take at each stage are explained in an easy-to-understand topic. The use of software tools to support the PM process is described. This course provides a comprehensive resource with everything you need to become an experienced project manager, from someone who has experience doing it. You will also receive:
- Example. A complete set of professional PM documentation for a $44 million project that you can reuse as a template for your own projects, including project charter, stakeholder register, requirements baseline, work breakdown structure, priority chart, project management plan, Gantt schedules, risk register and more.
- Templates Microsoft Office templates for all important PM documents, from stakeholder registration to project plan to final report.
- MS Office Guide. Valuable guide “Project Planning with MS Office” that explains how to use Microsoft Office programs in the easiest way to prepare your project scope, schedule and budget.
If you currently have a project to manage, are preparing for the PMI exam, or just need a solid foundation in PM best practices to advance your career, this course will really help. You will also receive 16 Professional Development Units (PDUs).
