My name is Ben, I have been a
Project Manager for more than 20 years
working for amongst others IBM, HP, large Financial companies and also Government agencies. I have also been
coaching Project Managers
for more than 10 years.
I have all the most respected
Project Management certifications
(PMP, Prince2, MSP, Agile Project Management) - and you know when I was doing those courses - I did not really enjoy them because when I did them I was already a PM and what I was hearing was not usable and so remote from what happens out in the field... and I thought I can do better maybe - to bring this knowledge to people interested in Project Management.
So I have learned from it and wanted to make a course that would provide you with all you need to understand project management - both the
theory and the practical / real life
components. I also wanted to make it more palatable by including
diagrams
, templates, plenty of
examples
and some
quizzes.
As part of this course I also provide a
framework
to go beyond being just a standard project manager -
to really ace it.
A very concrete, step by step framework that if you follow - will really take you to the next level in project management, you would be out there with the best!
And finally this course includes an introduction to the most common
methodologies/standards
in Project Management (PMP, Prince2, Waterfall, Agile).
