Project Management Fundamentals: Know the Principles and Get it Right
6 lectures 35:16
What is a Project?
It's important to define terms, and the key piece of jargon we'll be using throughout this course is 'Project'... so we'd better define it.
The Four Stage Project Lifecycle
Like you and me, projects have a distinct life cycle with recognizable stages. When you understand this, you have the basics of the structure you need to manage your projects effectively.
Project Stages and Boundaries
Let's understand why project managers divide our projects up, and what you can gain by doing this in your projects.
One Reason why Projects go Wrong
The project life cycle will help you understand one of the commonest reasons for schedule slippage and over-budget projects.
Terminology used in the Project Stages
The jargon is important... but more important is the ideas behind it. So don't skip this chapter!
More on Project Gateways / Stage Gates
Project Gateways are a central part of good project governance. Understanding this will help you control your project, secure good decisions, and keep your decisions accountable.

Project Definition Stage: The Vital Foundation to Your Success
4 lectures 26:15
Define your Project: Goals and Objectives
Defining your project is crucial and your Goal and Objectives are at the core. But how to distinguish between these two concepts... I'll make it clear.
Understanding Project Scope
Establishing the scope of your project is, I think, the most difficult task. You need to balance the needs and the wants of many stakeholders, and reconcile those the the very real resource constraints you find yourself under.
Dealing with Scope Creep
Scope creep is the insidious reality of all projects. So what is it and, crucially, what are the two steps you can take, to deal with it?
Project Definition: Summary
You should have watched three videos on this already, but there is always more: let's summarise, and also add in some of those extra details you'll need to get a full definition for your project.
You can also download a Project Definition Document template, branded for my 2014 book, How to Manage a Great Project. (Pearson, 2014)
