PMP Certification Exam Prep Course- 35 Contact Hours (PDU)

Define the foundational project management concept and the PMBoK seven definition of a project as a temporary, unique endeavor, differentiating projects from operations while outlining predictive, agile, and hybrid approaches.

Identify and apply the 12 project management principles and eight performance domains to navigate complexity, engage stakeholders, optimize risk response, and deliver value through integrated planning and delivery.

Define value and business value; examine benefit management and business case; identify six value components (financial, customer, social, operational, strategic, governance); apply cost-benefit analysis (ROI, IRR, NPV) and OKR-driven delivery.

Explore project governance as the decision-making framework that establishes ownership and oversight, aligns deliverables with strategy, and governs change through thresholds, escalation, phase gates, and iterative releases.

Identify and manage project compliance by aligning stakeholder requirements with legal and regulatory constraints. Implement a compliance risk register, integrate checks at milestones, and use quality audits to verify conformity.

Identify and engage stakeholders from the start of the project. Use the stakeholder register, engagement plan, and communication plan, plus the salience model and engagement matrix to tailor communication.

Define and implement the stakeholder engagement plan and the communication management plan to guide stakeholder involvement, communication needs, and information flow.

Form a high performing collaborative team by blending predictive and agile approaches. Emphasize self-organizing, cross-functional teams with servant leadership, t-shaped skills, psychological safety, diversity, equity and inclusion.

Establish team norms through a team charter and ground rules to guide communication, decision making, and conflict management, aligned with the PMI code of ethics: responsibility, respect, fairness, honesty.

Learn how to plan and manage project budgets across predictive and agile approaches, including burn rate, cost baseline, contingency reserve, and value-driven budgeting.

Define risk as uncertainty with potential positive or negative effects on project objectives, and present agile and predictive risk management, including risk appetite, risk threshold, and risk breakdown structure techniques.

Apply a structured risk assessment with a probability and impact matrix, conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis, and maintain a live risk register and response planning.

Explore planning and managing project quality per PMBOK seven. Learn about quality policy, cost of quality, standards, metrics, and improvement methods like Six Sigma, Kaizen, PDCA, and agile.

Create a collaborative project team environment by optimizing co-location, workspace design, and open communication, and manage artifacts with a configuration management plan, information radiators, and version control.

Explore how to evaluate project progress by measuring scope, schedule, budget, resources, and quality across predictive and agile approaches, using earned value management, variance analysis, and performance dashboards.

Learn to manage issues, impediments, obstacles, and blockers in projects by using issue and impediment logs, prioritizing backlog, and empowering teams to remove barriers and deliver value.

Close the project or phase by applying acceptance criteria and the definition of done, plan the rollout, handover, and post-implementation support, and archive project records.
