Course Overview
Project Management Essentials teaches you the best practices in Project Management. We begin by answering fundamental questions like: What is a project? What are the key attributes of a project? What is project management?
You will also learn why projects often fail, why scope creep happens, and how to manage project constraints, including schedule, resources, scope, risk, budget, and quality.
We will explore the role of a project manager—understanding what makes an effective project manager and what their responsibilities entail. As a project manager, you must be familiar with the different process groups and the Project Lifecycle.
The Project Lifecycle is made up of five essential phases: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling, and Closing. These phases were developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI), and the concept of the Project Lifecycle has evolved over several decades.
This aligns with PMBOK 7th Edition, which emphasizes 12 guiding principles and 8 performance domains. Mastering these phases helps deliver projects on time, within budget, and achieve your goals.
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills, this Project Management training is the perfect fit. We will introduce you to essential tools and guide you step-by-step to help you excel in managing projects.
Our Project Management Essentials public class is available in Kuala Lumpur. For private groups, we offer in-house training at your location anywhere across Malaysia.
