People with no knowledge or experience will learn the "language"; a four-step methodology to plan, schedule, resource, start, track and report on any project assigned, plus leadership and risk management. Each course maximizes inter-activity with down-loadable reference documents, short lessons, animated "movies" to illustrate complex points, exercises to test mastery and "click-and-drag" assignments to test application. Two cases are woven into all four courses to illustrate each lesson. A self-scoring quiz ends each course. Course 1 Focuses on universal Project Management concepts and terminology, and teaches 29 basic terms and definitions so graduates can "speak" a commonly shared language of project management. Also reviews project leadership and project management skills. Course 2 Teaches a practical four-step methodology plus three simple visual tools so that anyone can plan and organize a project, schedule work, assign oneself and any teammates or vendor-contractor personnel to help work their project and control the process to a timely conclusion. Course 3 Explains the use of resources: people, equipment, supplies, vendors and contractors to get work done. Also teaches budget basics, defining authority and how to start and follow-up your projects progress toward goals, plus a guide to project performance management. Course 4 Focuses on risk management, overcoming obstacles (through "walk-around's"), handling communications, reporting and time management. This program can be combined with one-day computer simulation. Courses can be taken in any order at any time of the day or night 24x7.
