INTRODUCTION
Every project is different. Some are small and straight
forward. Others are large and complex. Most are somewhere in the middle. Even
though every project is unique, they all have certain attributes in common.
Every project has a similar life cycle, starting with an idea, progressing
through development, and culminating in the delivery of a finished product or
service. A product has a life cycle of its own which is tied into – yet
distinct from – the life cycle of the project. All projects have similar overall
phases, such as the startup phase, the planning and design phase, the
production phase, and the closing phase. That is all straightforward, but how
do a project’s phases relate to the stages of its life cycle? Do the natural
phases of a project affect the way it is managed? And what types of project
management processes should be applied to the specific phases? These are all
fundamental questions project managers ask.
This course answers these questions and more. It is designed
to give project managers and project team members a solid understanding about
the nature of projects, how they are structured, and how the structures affect
the way they are managed. Specifically, it introduces the concepts of project
life cycle, product life cycle, project phases, and project management Process
Groups. It provides an in depth look at how the project management phases interact with
each other and with the elements of the project life cycle. The course
illustrates these concepts through many examples of small and large projects.
Learners will also be introduced to the fundamental source
of information for project management professionals: the Project
Management Institute (PMI®)
and A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK® Guide) – Fifth
Edition published by PMI®. The course will identify key project management
concepts and terms, explore the PMBOK® Guide, and the project management
Knowledge Areas. This course provides a foundational knowledge base reflecting
the most up-to-date project management information so learners can effectively
put principles to work at their own organizations. This course will assist in
preparing the learner for the PMI® certification exam.
