This course will teach you how to successfully manage projects as a Business Analyst!
The fact is, not every project can have a dedicated Project Manager. Sometimes the project is simply too small, or doesn't provide enough value to warrant the overhead costs of another dedicated team member. 
As a Business Analyst, having the necessary skills and techniques to successfully manage your own projects dramatically increases your value to the company, thus putting you in a great position for future promotional opportunities.

"Great course, very clear. easy concepts."  
-Gerardo A.
"Very eloquent in explanation of concepts for beginner level consumption."
-Jenna H.
"I find this to be an excellent course. I have already learned some techniques that I plan to implement in my current contract role, in hopes that it may lead to a full time offer in the near future. I am also taking this instructor's Business Analyst Fundamentals course. I find them both to be very good, and there is some overlap of the material. I enjoy Jeremy's personality, and I can tell that he really enjoys helping others learn and giving them the tools to help them progress in their careers."

Why should I enroll?
 
Project Management is an extremely deep and wide-ranging topic. Many colleges today have four-year degrees strictly focusing on managing projects. This course is designed to take the important aspects of all those classes and align them into one bite-sized course. You will learn how to successfully play both the Business Analyst and Project Manager roles. 
I cut out all of the fluff and unnecessary steps to focus your learning on what is important.
What bonuses are included?
You receive a Stakeholder Map template! This template will allow you to be effective and efficient in creating Stakeholder Maps.
 Also included is a RACI Matrix template! This template will enable to you accurately assign and document stakeholder responsibilities for your projects.         
Outside of the templates, you also gain access to an industry expert! I am not just the instructor of this course, I am also a resource and a mentor to give you guidance and tips to begin or advance your career.

"Really enjoying course. I'm doing this after the BA Fundamentals course and it is piecing a lot of the Project stuff together for me. Very helpful." 
-Bede J.
"I am getting to learn more than I expected,interesting!! I got what I was exactly looking for,especially the gaps that I had to fill in. Since I am a person from different country & have migrated to a different country & though certain principles as a PM/BA don't change but some do, & the same made me to take this course to fill in those gaps. I am confident that this is really creating hope & confidence in everyone like me who is aspiring to be a PM/BA.Thanks Jeremy"
