Project Management Practitioner Program - Project Resources Management: On-Demand This on-demand course is part of the Project Management Practitioner Program that has been designed to provide a general view of the theoretical concepts of traditional project management from a practical perspective presented by LeRoy Ward. Project managers need to address the transient relationships that develop when stakeholders move in and out of projects. Project managers must also be knowledgeable of their organization's human resource practices and apply them as appropriate within the project. This individual module shows how the Project Resources Management includes the processes to identify, acquire, and manage the resources needed for the successful completion of the project, as described by PMBOK® Guide - Sixth Edition. What You Will Learn At the end of this program, you will be able to: Describe the 6 process groups in Project Resource Management Describe the key concepts of resource planning Compare and contrast relevant organizational theories and structures Review Project Resource Management Knowledge Area Plan Resource Management Estimate Activity Resources Acquire Resources Develop Team Manage Team Control Resources

Project Management Practitioner Program - Project Scope Management: On-Demand This on-demand course is part of the Project Management Practitioner Program that has been designed to provide a general view of the theoretical concepts of traditional project management from a practical perspective presented by LeRoy Ward. The scope management provides guidance and direction on how scope will be plan, managed and control throughout the project. One of its deliverables, the project management plan is a very important component of project management, and it helps us collect requirements and to create the WBS. This individual module shows how the Project Scope Management includes the processes required to ensure that the project includes all the work required to complete the project successfully, as described by PMBOK® Guide - Sixth Edition. What You Will Learn At the end of this program, you will be able to: Identify the processes, activities, and documentation items for scope management. Describe the elements and deliverables of scope management.

Global Project Management: Virtual In-House Training In this course, you will dig deeper-and differently-into project management processes, tools, and techniques, developing the ability to see them through the lens of global and cultural project impacts. In today's increasingly global environment, managing a project with customers and support organizations spread across multiple countries and continents is a major challenge. From identifying stakeholders and gathering requirements, to planning, controlling, and executing the project, the basic logistics of a global project present their own standard challenges. However, with additional cultural, language-based, and regional elements, global projects involve more complexities than teams often realize. There are unique communication needs, cultural awareness elements, varying customs and work expectations, and critical legal differences to consider. In this course, you will dig deeper-and differently-into project management processes, tools, and techniques, developing the ability to see them through the lens of global and cultural project impacts. This will leverage you to problem solve differently on global projects, prevent problems, and ensure success. The goal is for you to effectively navigate the challenges of leading projects with multi-regional footprints and globally diverse sets of stakeholders. What you Will Learn At the end of this program, you will be able to: Determine when a project meets the criteria of being a true global one Articulate global project needs based on the project grid and framework Identify and analyze global project stakeholders Recognize cultural differences and articulate how they impact project work Determine global project estimating, scheduling, and staffing challenges Assess global project risks and develop problem-solving responses Analyze complex cultural situations and align optimal project communication and negotiation tools and techniques Apply best practices for conducting virtual team work and mitigating virtual challenges Evaluate ways to control for global project scope, cost, and procurement Align customer management best practices with global customer needs Implement key global project closing activities Foundation Concepts What is a global project? What makes a global project different? A global project management framework Initiating the Global Project Launching a global project Respecting cultural differences Identifying and analyzing stakeholders Developing the communications plan Defining the ideal global project manager Crafting a global project charter Planning the Global Project Gathering requirements for a global project Defining the scope, region by region Estimating and scheduling for global projects Staffing the global project Developing the global risk management plan Executing the Global Project Managing global stakeholder expectations Embracing cultural diversity Honing global negotiation techniques Procuring goods and services on a global basis Managing global legal and regulatory issues at the micro and macro level Monitoring and Controlling the Global Project Status reporting Virtual communication Cost control Schedule control Scope control Customer satisfaction Closing the Global Project Contract closure at the macro and micro levels Administrative closure with global reach Lessons learned
Project Management Practitioner Program - Project Cost Management: On-Demand Project cost management is primarily concerned with the resources needed to complete the schedule activities. This individual module shows how the Project Cost Management includes the processes involved in planning, estimating, budgeting, financing, funding, managing, and controlling costs so the project can be completed within the approved budget, as described by PMBOK® Guide - Sixth Edition. What You Will Learn At the end of this program, you will be able to: Identify the process required to plan, structure, and control project costs Recognize what is required to develop an approximation of the monetary resources needed to complete project activities Identify processes required to aggregate the estimated costs of individual activities or work packages to establish an authorized cost baseline Explain how to monitor the status of the project to update the project budget and manage changes to the cost baseline.
