Course Description

The Project Management Course is an extensive and in-depth educational experience designed for those looking to master the intricacies of project management. With a total duration of 4 hours and 14 minutes, this course provides a comprehensive overview and detailed insights into the fundamental and advanced aspects of project management.

This course stands out with an impressive average rating of 5 stars, reflecting its high-quality content and the effectiveness of the teaching methods. It falls under the broader category of Business Administration, with a specific focus on Project Management.

You will begin your journey with "Project Management 101," an introduction that covers the essentials of project management, including defining the scope, planning the project, and scheduling activities. This foundational lesson sets the stage for understanding the key principles you'll need to manage projects effectively.

The course then delves into "Project Scheduling 101," where you'll learn to create project schedule network diagrams and Gantt Charts based on the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). You'll understand the significance of these tools in planning and monitoring the project's progress.

"Project Network Diagram 101" takes you deeper into the technical aspects of project management. You'll explore how to draw project schedule network Activity on Node (AON) diagrams from WBS, a fundamental skill for developing clear and efficient project schedules.

In "Project Risks 101," you'll learn about the different types of project risks and how to manage them. You'll explore various estimation techniques, including top-down, bottom-up, and parametric estimation, and understand how to apply these estimates to each component of the WBS. The importance of accurate data collection and the application of 3-point estimates with PERT will also be covered.

An essential part of the course focuses on critical path methodology (CPM). You'll learn what the critical path is, identify critical activities, and understand how to draw AON networks effortlessly. The course includes a real example of computing project AON times and slack, using lags in the project network, and when to use specific scheduling relationships such as START-TO-START or FINISH-TO-FINISH.

Exciting step-by-step exercises will guide you through computing forward and backward passes, drawing Gantt charts, and handling complex project networks with multiple lags. Each exercise reinforces your understanding and application of these essential project management techniques.

The course also covers the definition of project risks and their relationship with the triple constraint and the WBS. You'll navigate through the risk management process, understand risk events' impacts on time, cost, scope, and quality, and use the Project Risk Severity Matrix to calculate risk values. A practical example of a Project Risk Register will be discussed, highlighting how to manage project risks effectively.

Finally, the course will tackle resource leveling and constraints in project scheduling, addressing the resource problem effectively. By the end of this course, you'll have a solid grasp of the dynamics involved in managing projects, equipping you with the skills necessary to lead your projects to successful completion.
