As we all know, managing projects and products is essential to every organization; therefore, applying the appropriate methodology and mindset to each project might be the single most important factor. This course provides a global set of standards for project managers worldwide. It is intended to offer insights into basic project management methodologies and frameworks, and provide project managers and project contributors with some fundamental decision-making tools to apply toward a successful project.
In this course, you'll explore the two dominant project management methodologies, traditional (predictive) and agile, and examine how each approach interprets and responds to constraints such as scope, time, and resources. Through relatable examples, learners will see how different approaches shape behaviors, expectations, decisions, and ultimately success.
You will walk away with a grounded, practical understanding of how to choose the most suitable management approach for any project, why the wrong choice can derail even the most skillful teams, and how organizational culture, expectations, and mindsets influence methodology selection.
