Description

This course will teach YOU how to be a great Software Project Manager. You will learn the
special knowledge, skills, tools and techniques
you will need to perform well - and with some experience you will become a great project manager.


Project Management could be your job title, your role or your activity - the lessons in this course applies well no matter how you define it.


Very often good technical people are promoted into Project Managerial roles. But Project Management is a different ball game altogether. In fact, you will need a different set of genes altogether. This course is where you will get that.

My manifesto for this course is:


Fast Track your learning
Zero or minimal Jargon
Included: Guidelines, Templates, Checklists, Examples, Case Study - every lesson
No rambling long lessons ever
Distill decades worth of learning into memorable videos


The course starts with fundamentals which are worth their weight in gold. Then in a very structured way - you will learn how to initiate projects, plan, execute and finally close projects. At every step you will learn how monitor and control all aspects of the project.


These are CORE SKILLS for a Software Project Manager - and you can use each of these lessons irrespective of the size of the project, methodology used, or company
domain - whether you are in the services, consultancies or product development arena.
