Every project needs a roadmap, whether you’re launching a product, organizing an event, or leading a team initiative. Without structured planning and execution, even simple projects can spiral into missed deadlines and budget overruns.
This course breaks down project management fundamentals into actionable techniques you can apply immediately. You’ll learn how to define clear project goals and objectives, build comprehensive project plans, create realistic schedules and budgets, and manage resources effectively throughout the project lifecycle. Biafore walks you through three key methodologies: waterfall for sequential projects, agile for iterative work, and hybrid approaches that combine both.
The course covers critical planning tools including work breakdown structures, critical path analysis, risk management plans, and stakeholder analysis. You’ll discover how to keep projects on track through earned value analysis, manage scope changes, run productive meetings, and handle team dynamics including virtual teams.
What sets this training apart is the practical healthcare/IT case study woven throughout, plus updated coverage of the PMBOK® Guide Seventh Edition changes. You’ll understand the shift to principle-based management, performance domains, and value delivery systems that reflect modern project approaches.
By completion, you’ll have concrete skills for initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, and closing projects of any size. Whether managing enterprise initiatives or small team efforts, you’ll gain the structured approach needed to deliver successful outcomes.
