This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.
396 tools for project management in one course: 243 ready-to-use templates, checklists, question lists, procedures and matrices, 124 models and methods, 28 services and apps shown on screen, and 1 downloadable test.
Open a lecture, take the tool, use it in your current project.
Why projects miss deadlines and budgets
A project starts without a clear goal, stakeholders appear in the middle with new demands, the schedule is a wish, and the team learns about problems last. PMBOK 7 answers this with principles and performance domains. To use them at work you need the documents: a charter, a scope statement, a schedule, a risk register and a status report.
What changes after this course
You decide whether the project should start and write its charter. You know your stakeholders and what each of them expects. You break the work down, build a schedule and a budget, and see the risks in advance. You track progress in numbers, report clearly and close the project with lessons learned. And you manage the people on the team, which is where most projects are won or lost.
What is inside: 396 tools, counted file by file
You do not have to take this number on trust. Open any lecture and read its description: every tool inside is listed there by name.
Where the tools are
PMP exam preparation
The four core sections follow PMBOK 7: principles, performance domains and the documents behind them. The course includes a 10-question practice test and a 5-question scenario quiz to check yourself. It gives you the PMBOK 7 foundation; for the PMP exam itself, add a full-length question bank.
Who is teaching
I am Mike, the #1 HR instructor on Udemy, with 1,800,000+ course enrollments from 170,000 students, and the author of about 200 books on Amazon. I built the people system at Preply as it became a unicorn and worked at Wargaming, iDeals and Alfa-Bank across 20 years in HR. I hold PHRi, SHRM-CP and HCI sHRBP certifications and represent HRCI in Eastern Europe.
I came into project work by role, not by title. At Alfa-Bank I was brought into a project to centralize the operations center: the bank's operational units sat in different cities and had to be gathered in one new place. My part was the people left without positions; we talked with them, collected resumes and offered vacancies while the new site was being staffed. At Wargaming it became formal: the HR team lacked people who could build projects, so each HR business partner took a couple, and I ran two projects alongside my main role, with Confluence as our working space. A project manager is often a role you carry next to your job.
How to use the course
Watch the four project management sections in order: they follow a project from initiation to closing. Then use the people management lectures as a reference. Section and lecture titles show how many tools are inside, and each lecture description lists them by name.
