Project management is a fast-growing profession, as well as an evolving profession. Project Management X (PMX) offers a fresh perspective on the essential knowledge and skills required to deliver intended project outcomes. This course starts with the concept that the purpose of projects is to deliver value. Value can be created in various ways depending on whether you have known or evolving scope. PMX teaches a variety of ways to begin a project including a project proposal, charter, and roadmap. You will learn how to organize and deliver scope using a mixture of methods, such as a WBS, backlog, and releases. PMX provides you with the opportunity to tailor the functions needed to lead a project so you can balance management needs and support self-organizing teams. It helps you honor the need for flexibility while aligning with best practices. The X in Project Management X represents how you can think differently about determining a tailored approach to your projects in order to meet the needs of your organization. This robust experience, designed to enable on-the-job skill transfer, leverages collaborative technology, videos, polls, self-assessments, and rigorous case study practices.
