Description
Project Management is the science and art of getting things done, putting things into action, and ensuring the successful completion of a project. There are several things you need to consider in project management like cost, time, scope, resources, quality, stakeholders, and many more.
If you are just starting as a project manager, or a project manager who needs a refresher, or perhaps you are preparing for your CAPM or PMP certifications in the future, you have come to the right place. In this course, I'll be introducing some best practices and several tools and techniques you can use to manage your projects. Since this is a beginner course, you don't need to know anything about project management before taking this course.
My goal is to transform you from a beginner project manager to a rock project manager in no time! Every time there is a problem or an opportunity that gives birth to a project, you'll need someone to lead the project from beginning to end. And that's when you, as a project manager, come in.

A Project Manager and Agilist who has several years of extensive experience in managing global, regional, and local projects for large multinational corporations.
I started out as a PHP developer early in my career as coding has always been my passion. Even now, more than 10 years later and not anymore doing any coding stuff, I still make it a habit of reading anything new regarding programming and other technological advancements.
Eventually I shifted from coding to leading projects as a project manager. It’s a life-changing experience for me because it’s during this moment that I began to truly appreciate the whole product and project development from initiation until completion. Transitioning to project management allowed me to appreciate the business side of development and gain the necessary strategic management skills to bridge the gap between product & project development to the strategic objectives of the organization I belong to.
