PMP (Definitive ECO-based) Course (37 PDUs)

This course covers the PMP (Project Management Professional) Curriculum based on the ECO course outline.

This course is geared towards providing you with a fundamental and flexible understanding of how projects are supposed to be managed while considering different factors such as environmental conditions, stakeholders’ requirements and development approaches.

This course defines what a project is, why are projects important, why is project management important and the different aspects of project management that are vital in order to achieve project success.

Contents of this course include:

The Fundamentals: The 12 principles which are introduced in the PMBOK Guide 7th edition are applicable to all projects.

PredictiveApproaches: Describing project approaches that follow a plan-driven sequential single-pass from start to finish.

AdaptiveApproaches: Describing project approaches that follow a change-driven multi-delivery cadence.

– Includes Agile Manifestos, principles, lean management, SCRUM and Kanban.

PeopleSkills: Relying on interpersonal capabilities and emotional intelligence in order to resolve impediments and optimize team development.

Data Management: Optimize the gathering, analysis and presentation of knowledge gained throughout the project.

Processes: Awareness and understanding of the 49 processes along with their knowledge areas and process groups. The 10 knowledge areas include:

1- Project Integration Management: Where we make sure that everything is well integrated and coordinated from project beginning to end and manage changes in an integrated manner.

2- Project Scope Management: Where we plan for scope and requirements management, collect requirements, define the scope, create the work breakdown structure, validate the work that we accomplished and make that we do 100% of the work required (and only 100% of the work).

3- Project Schedule Management: Where we plan for schedule management, list activities, sequence activities, estimate activity durations, develop a project schedule (with tools and techniques like the critical path method and schedule compression) and make sure that the project schedule is maintained.

4- Project Cost Management: Where we plan for cost management, estimate costs, develop a cost baseline and overall budget (while accounting for reserves) and track cost performance (through earned value analysis) while maintaining the cost baseline and budget.

5- Project Quality Management: Where we incorporate the organization’s quality policy regarding planning, managing, and controlling the project and product quality requirements, in order to meet stakeholders’ expectations. Where quality is the degree to which a set of inherent characteristics fulfils requirements.

6- Project Resource Management: Where we identify, acquire, develop the project team and manage the resources (be it personnel or physical) needed for the successful completion of the project.

7- Project Communication Management: Where we ensure timely and appropriate planning, collection, creation, distribution, storage, retrieval, management, control, monitoring, and ultimate disposition of project information. (This knowledge area is especially important as studies indicate that project managers spend 75 to 90 percent of their time communicating with stakeholders).

8- Project Risk Management: Where we conduct risk management planning, identification, analysis, response planning, response implementation, and monitoring risk on a project. Where risk is any uncertain event or condition that has an impact on the project.

9- Project Procurement Management: Where we take necessary actions to purchase or acquire products, services, or results needed from outside the project team. (This knowledge area is especially sensitive from a legal perspective).

10- Project Stakeholder Management: Where we take necessary actions to identify stakeholders, to analyze their expectations and their impact on the project, and develop appropriate management strategies for effectively engaging stakeholders in project decisions and execution.

BusinessEnvironment: Ensuring compliance and adjusting to changes in the business environment in order to optimize value.

Along with extra information that is relevant to your project management development and archived notes of the previous course’s structure.
