There are many great courses on project management to be found on UDEMY. So why should you bother with this one?

This course is different in two significant ways:

This course is designed for those involved in digital, IT or business technology projects. Projects in these domain have distinct issues.
Because of the above, the course has unique and distinctive content that you won’t find in other courses. Just check out the curriculum to get an idea of the topics covered.

I’ve been teaching IT project management for over 20 years at Nanyang Technology University (NTU) in Singapore, and I’ve been engaged in the IT industry since the start of my career in the 90’s.

The reality is that project management is hard, and project failure is just as common as project success.

However, outstanding project managers understand that, in the real world, successful projects isn’t just about crafting a project plan – it’s about assessing the ROI of projects, defining a clear scope, estimating in a rational manner, building a high-performance team, managing stakeholder expectations, and more.

The course is lengthy, but is broken down into distinct, easy to digest modules:

World of project management
Achieving project success
Project conception and proposal
Project scope and requirements
Project planning
Agile projects
Project estimating
Managing stakeholders
Project outsourcing
Project risk
Leading the project team
Project governance

There are no short cuts to becoming a better project manager. However, this course will provide you with ideas and insights that will help accelerate that journey.

Good luck!
