This course is the invaluable practical companion to the PMI PMBOK. Based on more than a quarter century of experience managing projects from $250K to $55M, the course cuts through the complexity to provide a deeply practical description of how to use the proven Project Management Institute (PMI) processes to manage your projects of any size, from any domain, to maximize their probability of success.
The course is end-to-end, comprehensive, and divided into more than 200 easy to digest videos of just a few minutes long. First an overview is provided of all the key PM concepts. Then the critically important role of the Project Manager and the essentials of team management are described. Then the PM processes are mapped across the project time-line, and the specific actions you need to take at each step are explained in an easy to follow thread. The use of software tools to support the PM process is described. And Microsoft Office templates are provided for all the key PM documents. At the end of the course, you will not only understand project management, you will be able to *implement* it.
The course also includes a complete set of professional documentation for the Magical Devices Version 3 project, including a Project Charter, Project Management Plan, Gantt Schedule, Risk Register, and much more, that you can reuse for your own projects.
More than 30K students have taken the course from around the world, making it the leading *applied* PM course online.
