Deeply Practical Project Management
Earn a Practical Project Manager (PPM) certification
"Finally, an online course that teaches the ‘how’ of project management from an experienced veteran."
– Karin Brame
Deeply Practical Project Management will teach you the most efficient way to implement project management, the way it is really done by the most professional organizations. It is currently the world's leading applied PM course, licensed to more than half of the Fortune 100 companies including Aflac, Box, Mattel, Nasdaq, Tata, Volkswagen and many others. It has more than 60K students, and more than 300K minutes are watched every month. It is now available direct to you.
I first learned project management while working in aerospace, where project success is mandatory. The largest project I worked on was a $3B helicopter integration effort. I was also on the PM team for a 140M aircraft retrofit project, and was project manager for a 55M software project, a 20M system integration project, a company process improvement effort, and a range of other projects. Then I became a consultant and helped dozens of organizations with their project management, including government and non-profits. Along the way I developed this course, and have given it live more than 330 times to more than 3,300 people, improving it every time. By far the most important thing I've learned is that project management must give back more than it takes. In other words, it must be very simple and *deeply* practical.
This course is your practical PM companion to the PMI PMBOK, describing how to apply the essential thread of proven PM processes to manage your projects of any size, from any domain, in the simplest and most 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 gives you the credential Practical Project Manager with the right to append PPM after your name. Thousands of people are now listing their PPM credential on their LinkedIN profiles.
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 complete, providing one comprehensive resource with everything you need to become an expert project manager.
You will also receive:
-
Example. A complete set of realistic, professional PM documentation for a 44M project that you can reuse 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.
-
Templates. Microsoft Office templates for all the key PM documents, from Stakeholder Register to Project Plan to Final Report.
-
MS Office Guide. The invaluable guide "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).
