Project Management Practical Applications

Join us in this two-day workshop focused on the skill set that the Project Management Institute (PMI) looks for in professionals. Learn by rigorous case study, role-play, and simulation. Begin by using PMI’s PMP Exam Content Outline (ECO) framework to surface issues in the management of the case project. Next, apply that framework to managing the development of case deliverables by a plan-driven approach. Finally, re-use the framework to simulate managing the project by an agile approach. To do this work, you’ll be using the same tools that many dispersed teams use to do theirs, namely, Zoom and Mural. You will also have a chance to see in action PMI’s Disciplined Agile (DA) browser and Open AI’s GPT-4 – two project technologies on the bleeding edge.

This course can count toward the education requirements for PMI certification (PMP or CAPM) or serve as a refresher course for the Continuing Certification Requirement exam.
