This module introduces the core principles of project management. You will explore both predictive (Waterfall) and adaptive (Agile) frameworks, understanding how each approach structures project work and where non-project managers contribute most effectively. You'll learn to identify your touchpoints in project lifecycles, strengthen essential project management skills, and appreciate how managers in any function can enable team success. This module sets the foundation for effectively collaborating in projects, regardless of industry or methodology.

This module introduces the essential concepts and practices of stakeholder management, tailored for both project managers and professionals involved in projects. You will explore key tools and techniques to identify, classify, and manage stakeholders effectively, while also understanding their role in project initiation and execution. Through this module, you will gain practical skills in stakeholder analysis, communications planning, and engagement strategies to drive project success.

This module introduces the fundamentals of requirements gathering and management, highlighting the role of both traditional and Agile approaches. You will explore different requirement types, elicitation techniques, and prioritization methods, while understanding how non-project managers contribute to the process. The module also demonstrates how generative AI tools can enhance requirements elicitation, documentation, and management, offering practical hands-on experience to apply these concepts.

This module integrates key course concepts with practical project management tools. You will learn to use Gantt charts, milestone charts, and Kanban boards to plan, track, and manage projects effectively, gaining hands-on experience through guided demos and a lab. Finally, you will work on a project to apply AI-assisted techniques to elicit requirements, engage stakeholders, and manage project deliverables in a realistic business scenario. The course concludes with a final assessment and wrap-up resources, including certification guidance for CompTIA Project+, PMI-CAPM, and PMI-ACP, to support continued professional development.
