Description

This is course (3 of 4) in the GPMM 3.0 Course Suite covering how to manage projects in all 3 ways; Hybrid, Agile and Plan driven, with the additional value of using the world leading model: GPMM – the Greenlight Project Management Model.

The GPMM model is an Agile Project Management model, thus describing how to manage Hybrid-, Plan driven (traditional)-, and Value driven (Agile) projects.

GPMM is a practical model aligned with the PMI standards, SAFe, Agile Manifesto, BABOK and Prince 2.

This course focuses on all aspects relating to the planning of projects, with a special focus on customer projects.

It covers a detailed step-by-step series of activities with their associated tools and techniques, such as Structuring and WBS, Sequencing and Network Diagram, Critical Path method and Scheduling, Resourcing techniques, Cost estimating, Budget Development, the various Risk management steps, as well as how to document these results in an effective way, aligned with the GPMM model.

A practical Case Study example is used to bring home the main elements and the practical side in these areas.

These planning steps are valid on all levels, thus on program, project and team levels, and also in all types of projects; hybrid, plan driven (structured) and agile.
