Project leadership looks different in every company. So let's start with the basics and build a firm foundation for success! In this class, you'll learn how to clearly define the project manager's role, identify common misconceptions about project management, and understand the skills and qualities it takes to lead projects well.
There are lots of ways to manage projects, and no single process works for every project. In this class, you'll learn how to compare the Waterfall, Agile, and Hybrid project management methodologies, understand when and how to use each method for your projects, and craft a customized process that leads your team and projects to success.
Project estimates are never perfect—but some project management tactics can certainly improve your aim. In this class, you’ll learn how to determine if a project is worth taking on, evaluate your project from all angles, engage your team and stakeholders in the process, and break your project down for easier—and more accurate—estimation.
Good project requirements are like GPS for project success: They show a clear path to done, with each critical step laid out. In this class, you’ll learn how to gather and document project requirements, align your team and stakeholders, track and manage change, and confirm project requirements have all been met.
Project planning is a critical step in any project because it lays the groundwork for success. See what goes into a well-crafted project plan and how to gain buy-in from your team and stakeholders.
Expectations are the heart of every project relationship. Manage them well, and you’re sure to win (and keep) trust. In this class, you’ll learn how to use scope to set and guide project expectations, keep expectations in check as the project progresses, define clear roles and responsibilities, and establish an effective structure for communication.
Scope creep has a sneaky way of turning well-crafted plans upside-down. Let it go unchecked, and your project is bound to suffer. In this class, you’ll learn how to use key project documents to manage scope creep, make change control an integral part of your process, and resolve scope conflicts without sacrificing project quality.
Stakeholder relationships set the tone for your entire project. That’s why it’s important to start out on a positive foot. In this class, you’ll learn how to identify key stakeholders and understand their role in the project, spot and address red flags before they become an issue, and manage expectations when approval deadlines get missed or feature requests pop up.
People are part of every project. So how do you lead a team that doesn’t report to you? Invest in their success. In this class, you’ll learn how to build intentional, trusting relationships with your team, keep people accountable to the work (without being a micromanager), and harness the power of motivation to help your team and project win.
Good staffing plans start with treating your team like humans, not resources—and people have lives outside of work. In this class, you’ll learn how to assemble the right team for the project, use hourly estimation to align estimates with your project plan, manage workloads to keep your team busy but not overworked, and resolve common resourcing challenges.
Ever feel like meetings get in the way of productivity? They don’t have to. In this class, you’ll learn how to determine if you actually need a meeting, write clear and collaborative meeting agendas, define meeting roles and rules, and use facilitation techniques to resolve conflict and keep meetings on track.
Your team’s productivity starts with you. Provide positive support and model good habits, and your team will follow. In this class, you’ll learn how to keep information flowing with minimal disruption, eliminate confusion around project work, empower your team to protect focus time, motivate your team, and encourage healthy collaboration.
