Individuals who are involved in projects (commissioning, supporting, sponsoring, etc.) may often be unfamiliar with project management. A basic understanding of project management is essential for non-project managers, who are critical stakeholders contributing to project success.
This awareness course uses A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) and other sources to introduce you to project management vocabulary, concepts, and techniques. It also provides insights into the realities of being a project manager, and opportunities to explore how you can positively impact projects in your own role.
At the end of this program, you will be able to:
Identify the benefits of project management
Use standard project management terminology
Describe characteristics of successful projects, project managers, and high-performing teams
Explain various project stakeholder roles, their responsibilities, and the fundamental project management processes
Recognize how agile / adaptive practices are useful for certain project life cycles
Create a personal action plan for how to support real-world projects within a non-PM role
