Deeply Practical Project Management (Earn 16 PDUs)




Deeply Practical Project Management (Earn 16 PDUs)

"Finally, an online course that teaches the 'how' of project management from an experienced veteran." – Karin Brame

"I am interviewing for a PM position in two days.  This course boosted my confidence, and gave me valuable insight into key PMBOK areas I haven't considered since I received my PMI certification in 2012.  I’m also able to improve my resume, since I now understand how certain PM functions I've been performing for years are much more valuable than I thought.  Great course!" – Dan Bischoff, PMP

This course is your practical PM companion to the PMBOK.  Based on experience managing projects from just a few thousand dollars up to $55M, and working in senior roles on projects up to $3B, it explains how to use the proven Project Management Institute (PMI) processes to manage your projects of any size, from any domain, in the simplest and most deeply practical way.  At the end of the course, you will not only understand project management, you will be able to *implement* it as efficiently as we know how.  You will also receive a certificate that bestows on you the credential Practical Project Manager with the right to append PPM after your name.

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 fundamental concepts.  Then the critically important role of the Project Manager and the keys to team management are described.  Then the essential 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 explained.  The course is simple, practical, and complete, providing one comprehensive resource with everything you need to become an expert, practical project manager.

You will also receive:

  • Templates. Microsoft Office templates for all the key PM documents, from Stakeholder Register to Project Plan to Final Report.

  • Professional Example. A complete set of professional PM documentation for the $45M Magical Devices Version 3 project that you can use as a model for your own projects, including a Project Charter, Stakeholder Register, Requirements Baseline, Work Breakdown Structure, Precedence Diagram, Project Management Plan, Gantt Schedule, Risk Register, and more.

  • MS Office Help. The invaluable document "Project Planning With MS Office" that describes how to use Microsoft Office applications as simply as possible to prepare your project scope, schedule, and budget.

If you need to manage a project right now, are preparing for a PMI exam, or just want a solid grounding in the PM best practices to enhance your career, this course will really help!  You will also earn 16 Professional Development Units (PDU's).
