About the Course

To navigate today’s complex and rapidly changing work environments, many organizations divide work into projects. Project management provides a structured approach to plan and manage projects in order to achieve on-time, within-budget, and scope as planned delivery. Compare and contrast predictive and adaptive project management models. Learn to avoid common causes of project failure. Investigate how to lead effective meetings and how motivating your team can lead to project success. Create essential documents required during the project initiation phase like the business case, project charter, project brief, stakeholder register, and stakeholder engagement plan. Prepare other project documents to help you scope a project and plan accurate project schedules and budgets. You will gain practical experience with hands-on labs. Upon completion, you will have a portfolio of widely used project initiation and planning assets to demonstrate your skills to potential employers. This course is set up to help you succeed as a project manager. It is well-suited for those looking to step up their careers or new graduates seeking to establish their project management careers. This course is part of series of courses intended to help you prepare for CAPM and PMP certification exam. RECOMMENDED: It is good for everyone gearing toward a career in Project Management to have basic to intermediate skills in an Office Productivity Suite, such as Microsoft Office 365. We highly recommend enrolling in the SkillUp EdTech Office Productivity Software Specialization, which covers Word Processing, Spreadsheets, PowerPoint, Messaging, and Email....

Excellent course. The instructors are very motivating and knowledgeable. I really appreciate their professional, hands-on perspective on the topics covered, which they share throughout the sessions.

It's a lot of information, and for me, as a newbie, some topics were difficult to understand. The course itself is well structured, with good information shared.

First - The agile section of this specialization is great. But the rest of it is torturous. There are no notes or handouts, there are no links to relevant articles. The 'lectures' are mostly AI, there are very few visual aids, and the exam questions are rarely relevant to becoming a good PM. But perhaps the biggest sin? While the course purports to be from IBM, you get a certificate of completion from "SkillUp". Who? This is the worst PM class I have taken on Coursea - I would suggest you consider one of the many other options available.

One of my favourite courses, to be honest. I'd 100% recommend doing the labs (although you could technically skip them), you will learn a lot!

As the whole IBM Certificate started very good. The rest of the course with AI voice is clearly bad quality and hard to stay focused on

The Final Project is extremely long, then you have to wait for peer grading and then do 2 grading yourself. It should be broken up into parts, . I did 4 reviews, Also Office 360 is not free this should have been stated as a requirement for some projects. Why not have an ability to do the project the skill up directly

You should be ashamed for this product. Where is the real case studies to help learners connect the concepts? It's a waste of time to show testimonials.

Wonderful course with practical knowledge and skills that helps everyone in their goals. Hands-on Lab is a powerful tool where we can practice what we have learned. Quizzes help us shake our minds and choose answers. The Subject Matter Expert is really helpful throughout the course. Thank you Coursera for providing us such a wonderful course.

Great resources, great SME's providing insight. Quite a bit of hands-on experience on the labs, and that can become a time sink.
