A common misconception exists among many practitioners who think anAgile approach means abandoning all of the knowledge areas and processes emphasized in the PMBOK® Guide. Nothing could be farther from the truth!

In this compelling presentation, Nancy will use real life examples to verify that core project management principles apply, regardless of the development approach. Leveraging the best of both the PMBOK® and Agile methods can deliver the highest value.

By attending, you will learn:

• How both traditional & Agile methods & techniques complement each other
• When to use traditional vs. Agile methods
• How to use “Achieved Value” (AV) instead of “Earned Value” (EV) to measure the value of project delivery

This is a Cat 2-SDL course. Presented by Suite 101®, the information presented in this course is a very good comprehensive introduction to project management. Be aware that there is a lot of clicks required to move between pages of information and there are advertisements on each page. The information is presented in a relaxed chatty way and the author presents the information along with his opinions about Project Management during this course. In spite of these drawbacks, this is a good basic introduction to Project Phases and topics in Project Management

There are those people who are born Project Managers. And there are those people who achieve Project Management, and then there are those people — a surprisingly large number of people — who have professional project management expectations thrust upon them. What if they haven’t actually provided you with the necessary foundational understanding of the concept of project management?

Well, here’s what you can do: read this course on Project Management 101. Learn about the basics of project management so that you can approach your challenge with the confidence that you are entitled to as a professional. The goal of this course is thus to impart an overall understanding of project management through a focus upon basic concepts, definitions, tools, strategies, processes, and phases.

This course embraces students from any professional background, including those that may not work in a project environment but would simply like a solid introduction to the subject. Students will find the lessons in this course relevant because project management is an approach to achieving a goal. You will be able to adapt the generalized knowledge and principles that this course offers to fit within your unique and specific workplace project needs.
