PMI Talent Triangle:  (Strategic and Business Management)

 

PDU: 1.5 – Technical Project Management and 1.5 – Strategic and Business Management

Course will cover:

This TuneUp will cover the high IMPACT approach embodied in this evaluative process that takes the IDEA through the project- portfolio review process to project approval as defined in the Project Management Life cycle Discovery and Initiation phases.

 

At the end of this lesson you should be conversant in the first of the 3 evaluative steps of the project- portfolio review process towards project approval:

  1. DISCOVERY PHASE – Lesson 1, Project Definition: explore the IDEA to determine whether it is a viable project
    • Exercise – Identify Projects vs. Operations
  2. DISCOVERY PHASE  – Lesson 2, Business Case: define business NEED
  3. INITIATION PHASE  – Lesson 3, Project Charter: describe the project and it’s approval kicks off the project project.

To get started with the training program, please follow the instructions in the 4-item checklist below!

1. BLOCK TIME ON YOUR CALENDAR

SUCCESS SECRET: I recommend that you take the time RIGHT NOW to block off your calendar! You are infinitely more likely to complete the program if you commit yourself to the training by blocking off the time on your calendar.

2. DO THE EXERCISES

Doing the exercises is part of the course and the total PDU count. Doing them will help you reinforce what you have learned and ensure that you retain what you have learned.

3. LEVERAGE THE TEMPLATES

Our templates are easy to use and follow and all of them come in an editable format so that you can customize them as necessary to fit for your project and organization. A word of caution: Longer isn’t necessarily better. In fact, increasing the length of the template as you use it internally will be directly proportionate to the decrease in it being read. Keep them short and sweet!

Use the IMPACT Plan template to record lesson “take always“and key points, and to list the specific steps you will take to act on what you learned in this lesson.  Don’t forget to download your materials! 

4. MAKE A COMMITMENT TO YOU

You will get out of this what you put into it. Make the time to make yourself and your career development a priority. Do the work and you will see the results.

A Note on PDUs

The course is a combination of watching the training videos, reading the materials, performing the exercises and taking the quiz. If you do all of this, you will be eligible for the 3.0 Instructor-led training PDUs upon completion of the course and all associated lesson materials.  Remember, the online or Digital Media Education Instructor-led training PDUs includes the TOTAL amount of time it takes for the course and ALL associated lesson materials.   That is defined as the total time it takes to complete the review of the course video, as well as the companion readings and completion of all associated exercises, workbooks, and/or worksheets, and the test of knowledge acquired.
