FAQs

Who needs project management fundamentals training?

Project management fundamentals training is for new project managers, team leaders and professionals who run projects without a formal PM title. That includes engineers, safety coordinators, IT staff and operations supervisors. Experienced managers can use it as a refresher. The 12-minute video is in English with Spanish and French closed captions.

What is the project management triangle?

The project management triangle, also called the triple constraint, shows how time, cost and scope depend on each other. Changing one affects the others. Adding scope usually requires more time or money, and cutting the budget often means reducing scope or extending the schedule.

What are the five phases of the project management lifecycle?

The five phases of the project management lifecycle are initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and controlling, and closure. Initiation defines the goal and produces a project charter. Planning sets the schedule, budget and risks. Execution and monitoring run together, and closure ends with a post-project review.

What goes in a project charter?

A project charter formally authorizes a project and states its purpose, objectives, scope, key stakeholders, budget estimate and the project manager's authority. Approving a charter at the start gives the team a shared reference point. It also helps prevent scope creep later in the project.

Do you need a certification to be a project manager?

No, a certification isn't required to manage projects, and many people lead projects without one. Credentials such as the PMP from the Project Management Institute can strengthen a resume, and some employers prefer them. Fundamentals training is a practical starting point before pursuing a formal project management certification.
