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.

Good course. Covers the fundamentals and will certainly provide you with the basics needed to tackle a project or a mission from a macro perspective up to a micro perspective.

There were some exam questions that didn't seem to go back to course material (I may have just missed it). Specifically concerning project backlog folders in agile models.

Useful information, video tutorial help, practical application was useful but my one of the peer evaluations I conducted was for a foreign language.

It is very informative. However, it is quite dry and monotonous, unengaging and repetitive. it is essentially one long power point broken down into shorter videos presentations with intermittent video recording of professionals talking about their experience. The latter being fairly useful. The voice behind the power-point-like videos sounds so consistently monotonous that it is likely AI generated. Another issue I have with this course is the inconsistency of the example materials used in the teaching videos. For instance, instead of walking you through the phases of a particular project in order to demonstrate how the various pieces of documentation are developed throughout the planning phase, they use a different project to illustrate each type of document. Then you get to the final project where you have to generate a RBS and the template provided is not even the same as the one used in the teaching video. Overall, it's not terrible but it's far from great, and there's certainly room for improvement.

-a lot of the videos are read by some AI robot, it just sounds weird and it's kinda hard to follow

-mistakes and inconsistencies in the material make it hard to learn new information

-some of the audio recordings of presented videos are very poor in quality

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.
