FAQs

What is this course all about?

If you are in a project management role or aspiring to become one, and would like to have formal training in project management, then this project management course is for you. In this short project management course, you will learn the different factors you need to consider to make a project a success. This course is based on Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK).

Activities in this project management course consist of workshops involving a team-building project as a case study.

What is PMBOK?

PMBOK stands for Project Management Body of Knowledge. It is considered to be the fundamental resource for effective project management in any industry.

Will I get certified as PMP after taking this course?

No. This is not a Project Management Professional exam prep course. This course takes a practical approach. Lessons learned from this project management course can be readily used in your own projects. Project Management Professional Certification prep courses typically involve a lot of memorization in order to pass the certification exam.

However, you can use the 7 training hours of this course as part of the 35 Professional Development Units (PDUs) required to acquire PMP certification.

What is PMP?

Project Management Professional.

It is a title granted to individuals who pass the Project Management Professional certification exam

Is this course for IT practitioners only?

No, this Project Management course is designed to be industry agnostic.

Should I take this project management course or the agile course?

You can take both training courses. In fact, they are complementary to each other. This course is based on standards prescribed by PMBOK, which also embraces agile techniques to run successful projects. This course however does not focus on agile practices but rather project management best practices as a whole. If you want to learn more about agile tools and techniques, you can also take our Agile project management with Scrum course.

What is the difference between project management as taught by PMBOK and agile project management?

PMBOK is based on a more traditional view of project management, while Agile is based on a more modern view of project management.
PMBOK assumes that projects can be planned, executed, and controlled in a linear and predictable way, while Agile assumes that projects are complex, dynamic, and uncertain, and require frequent adaptation and experimentation.
Agile has a Product Owner and a Scrum Master, while PMBOK has a Project Manager and a Team.

How is agile related to PMBOK?

PMBOK and Agile are two different process models for project management. PMBOK is a guide that provides principles and guidelines for various project situations, while Agile is a mindset of values and principles that emphasizes flexibility and adaptivity. PMBOK can be applied to Agile projects. You don’t have to choose one over the other.

In fact, the PMBOK Guide’s project life cycle can be related to the process of managing software development projects using Agile. The PMBOK Guide’s life cycle can be broken down into five stages: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. These stages can be applied to the agile approach and its iterations.
