Project Management, Part 6 of 8: Executing a Project

Course description

We have now completed project planning and integrating the outputs from each of the planning processes into a comprehensive project management plan. In this lesson, we will officially transition from planning to executing a project and start leveraging that pm plan. Project execution is the third of five pm process groups that you will perform on most projects you manage. In this course we will actually perform project work.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

This course is designed for users preparing for the project management certification. It is recommended before taking the certification that you also use the Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK) Guide, Fifth Edition to study with. You should have already viewed Project Management: Risks and Plans.
