1:37 project management is application of knowledge skills tools and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements so every project will have an objective to accomplish similarly the objective of project management is to make the final deliverables in a finite time and budget this involves having clear understanding about the deliverables of the project required resources for for the project resource in terms of Human Resources Technical Resources Financial Resources Etc project manager should have a full picture of those aspects we can call it as constraints or aspects and manage those throughout the Project Life Cycle for which a project manager should have a full view about a project and what is that this project has to accomplish that

2:22 objective should be clear so as part of project management the six constraints which project manager should look at are scope time quality cost risk and resources so each of these areas has very important role to play in project management the clarity in scope the clarity in terms of schedule within which the project has to be delivered the cost what it incurs to that particular project once it is finalized one cannot vary when cannot change without any proper approvals similar to that we have quality management which has to ensure the scope the specifications what are defined project output will be accordingly achieved risk every project is taken up for a specific reason by organization so organization should assess the risk associated with

3:09 the project and similarly as project progresses various different risks has to be identified like Risk related to project management risk related to technology area risk related to resources risk related to financial things so broadly risk management plays a very important role so there will be something called contingency reserve kept for a identified risk above the cost what is estimated for various deliverables from the project so every projects require resources resources may be in terms of Human Resources Financial Resources technology resources environmental resources so all these resources are used to produce the output of the project so these resources has to be managed with the sufficient

3:55 optimization and standardizations required now let us understand the definition of a project so what is a project PMI defines a project as a temporary endow undertaken to create a unique product service or result the temporary nature of a project indicates that a project has a definite beginning and end so when I say product unique product it means every output it may be similar products you are producing with the same features and functionality but the output of every project is unique because it is unique in terms of all the six constraints what we just discussed now now when I say product it is very easy for us to visualize it may be a desktop it may be a laptop it may be a car it may be a machine Etc but how do I visualize a service now project output

4:41 is a service now it is it's about building a capability a project by through a project a capability can be built to ensure Services can be provided that's what the output of project is service for example if I think about a taxi services for providing a taxi services I need a mobile app I need taxi I need a server I need a data center so all these are various different products and services here service example can be internet service so combination of all the services and products builds the capability for an organizations who can provide the taxes services so building that capability we say it is an output of a particular project which is called service similarly results can be Improvement of something Improvement in

5:27 customer satisfaction increase in um some specific objectives or specific results need to be achieved in performance perspective so output of every project will be unique product or a service or a result this we need to clearly understand so when we say there is a definite beginning and end every project starts at certain point in time and ends at certain point in time so it has a definite beginning and end that is the reason it is temporary in nature it is not an ongoing business activity before we begin let's have a look at an incident where two project managers John and Ted are talking to each other JN is a senior project manager while Ted is a part of his team JN finds Ted to be upset so he asks him is there anything he can help him with to which Ted replies that his project failed JN

6:14 further asks him what could be the possible reason for the project failure Ted tells him that it's because he was not able to manage the time and budget now John asks him if he is PMP certified to which Ted says he isn't then John suggested that he must take the PMP certifi ification which will not only give his project better performance but also help him upskill in his career so today we will discuss about PMP certification in detail let's first have a look at all the topics we will cover we will begin with what is PMP then we will check top 10 reasons to get PMP certified followed by the basics of PMP then after we know the PMP basic concepts we will check who can get this certification and pattern for the PMP exam then we will learn about the pinbo guide which is an integral part to prepare for the PMP exam finally we will

7:01 see the cost and the validity of the certification so without any further Ado let's begin with what is PMP PMP or project management professional is the world's most renowned project management certification for project managers this certification is provided by the project management Institute now when we know what is project management professional or PMP certification let's have a look at some reasons why you should get PMP certified today I will give you top 10 reasons to take PMP certification PMP certification helps you become a better project manager the process that helps us acquire the certification goes to several phases like gaining project management experience and passing the PMP exam which helps you in bringing sanity to the project manager the process helps project managers to learn different industry Trends have practical

7:46 knowledge and several other project management constraints the second reason that we have is project management certification makes a resume more valuable as we have discussed earlier that PMP certification is the most renowned project management certification so having it on the resume will definitely help the interviewer recognize our skills there are companies that only accept project managers who are PMP certified PMP certification not only helps in switching the job or finding a new one it helps in progressing in the current company as well the third reason that we have is it provides more job opportunities when one acquires the PMP certification it proves that one has expertise in completing the project effectively and efficiently so the certification increases the trust factor of the interviewer in you and increases your probability of getting

8:32 that job the fourth reason that we have is salary hikes PMP certified project manager is one of the highest paid jobs around the globe and this trend will continue to grow the global survey by the project management Institute shows that PMP certified project managers tend to get 20% more salary than the non-certified project managers the next reason that we have is PMP certification validates your dedication to the job the certification requires several months of training it requires has several hours of project management experience and exposure this experience and exposure explains the seriousness of a project manager towards its career path then sixth we have is PMP certification is globally acknowledged PMP certification is the most renowned certification all over the world it helps project managers

9:17 to be a part of different types of Industries all over the globe PMP certification is the most renowned certification all over the world project managers who are PMP certified may get jobs in different types of Industries or all over the world PMP certification not only provides theoretical knowledge but also helps in gaining practical knowledge which further helps in increasing the confidence of a project manager the next reason that we have is better project performance PMP certified project managers tend to deliver better projects than the non- PMP certified project managers this is because PMP certified project managers are well aware of five process groups 10 knowledge areas and 49 processes which helps them have a clear picture of different aspects involved in a project the E reason that we have is it increases your networking opportunities

10:02 there are several communities that one becomes a part of when they sign up as a PMI member these communities have meetings regarding new job opportunities and this helps in having a professional Network the ninth reason that we have is job security job security is a major reason that a professional thinks of before opting for a particular profession today in the world of recession where companies are drowning the demand for PMP certified project managers goes on increasing the last and the 10th reason we have is expertise in practical application when one appears for a PMP exam they need extensive preparation they need to have thorough knowledge of process groups and knowledge areas which help them develop several essential skills and move ahead in their career now as we move further we will look into the PMP basic concepts the PMP basic concepts are the five

10:49 project management steps these project management steps start from the day we begin our project to the day we end our project they begin from initiation to closure the first step that we have have is initiation planning execution monitoring and controlling and closure now let's have a look at each of them in detail the first step we have is initiation initiation involves defining the project scope this is the step where we explain what our project will have for whom we are making that project it helps us to identify our stakeholders who all will be the part of that project and determine the project feasibility after the step of initiation when we have decided the scope of a project the Second Step that comes is planning in the planning phase we Define a flow to all the activities of a project we

11:36 Define this flow keeping in mind all the constraints of a project like time resources and risk after we have defined the flow of these processes it is time for us to look at the execution in the execution phase we evaluate the plan and the sequence of the task we have made we finally put the plan in action and the project tends to start after the project building has started and the process of execution has started it is time for the monitoring and the controlling phase in monitoring and controlling phase the progress of the project is tracked and important steps for quality assurance are taken in monitoring and controlling phase the work being done is compared with the work as defined in the project plan in this phase the progress of the project is tracked and important steps for quality assurance are taken finally we have the closure step in this step the deliverables are delivered to the

12:21 client the documentation of all that took place during the Project Life Cycle is done and project is fully evaluated now when we have seen reasons for getting PMP certified and we know the basic concepts of PMP it is time for us to know who can get PMP certified for getting PMP certified there can be two cases the first case says You must have a secondary degree a secondary degree means high school diploma or an associate degree or a degree that is globally equivalent to all of these then you need to have 7500 hours of leading and directing projects and 3500 hours of project management education there can be two cases first case can be you must have a secondary degree that means a high school diploma associates degree or the global equivalent degree then you must have 7500 hours of project management experience and 35 hours of

13:08 Education in project management the second case can be you must have a 4-year degree along with 4500 hours of project management experience and 35 hours of Education in project management now when we know who can get PMP certified we will see the PMP exam pattern the exam comprises of 200 questions out of which 175 questions are used for evaluation one can answer these questions if they have thorough knowledge of five process groups and 10 knowledge areas the time provided to complete the exam is 4 hours the questions that are asked are of different types the most common type being formula based situation based and knowledge based now when we have discussed about the exam pattern discussing about the pinbo guide becomes very important so the next topic that we have is pinbo guide pinbo guide or project management body of knowledge is

13:54 a book that comprises of several processes and different terminologies needed to crack the PMP exam the whole syllabus of PMP exam is covered in the pinbo guide by the project management and 10 knowledge areas apart from this there are 49 processes that are divided amongst five process groups 10 knowledge areas finally let's have a look at the cost and validity of the PMP certification when we talk about the cost of the certification there can be two cases the first case can be if we are not a member of project management Institute the exam fees is $555 the second case can be if we are a member of project management Institute then exam fees is $45 if we talk about the validity of the certification the certificate is valid for a period of 3 years after every 3 years the certificate needs to be

14:39 renewed to renew the certificate one needs to furnish a proof of 60 pdus of professional development units after so much information that thanks John for his time and Promises to take the PMP certification at the shortest notice now let's have a look at the salary trends of a PMP certified project manager and a sample resume if we consider the salary of a non PMP certified project manager it is approximately $91,000 while if we consider the salary of a PMP certified project manager it is approximately $111,000 which is approximately 20% higher than the non-certified project manager salary now let's have a look at the resume of a PMP certified project manager if you're somebody with PMP certification and looking for a project manager or a senior project manager role

15:25 your resume should look something like this the summary in the beginning would include how much experience you have and anything that supports your claim of being a project manager like here James Brown has written he has more than 10 years of experience with generating and building projects then when you talk about your experience you should put something that emphasizes on the responsibilities that you had your area of expertise put something that shows your skill set for the desired post and also something that you learned from your former job role this shows that you have command over your work and also the determination to skill and upskill yourself like here James Brown has 3 years of experience as an assistant manager training new Associates and then more than 3 years of experience as a project manager where he not only LED projects but also learn new project management tools like Trello and Prima vera after this add relevant information

16:12 regarding your education your resume must include skills that you have or you have gained in your years of experience like here James Brown has divided his skills into two parts where he has written his technical skills and non- technical skills he has included a skill of agile and quality assurance software as well as he has his knowledge of different project management tools then putting your certifications play a major role this proves that you're up toate and updated with current market trends James Brown has his certifications in C and Java and more importantly he has his project management certification project management professional his Max and assistant project manager who looks tensed and is pacing around the room then Jack a project manager who works with him walks into the room and asks him why does he seem so tensed to which Max replies he's facing difficulty in

16:57 estimating the budget Jack responds it might be because he's not planning the project properly Jack reassures Max and begins to tell him about project planning so without any further Ado let's begin with what is Project planning project planning is the second step or phase of the Project Life Cycle Project Life Cycle has five different phases from initiation to closure today we will be learning about this phase that comes immediately after initiation in which the project plan is documented and further requirements are defined project planning includes the following things the first and the foremost thing is describing the objectives or outputs we are expecting the project to yield second we have is the elaboration of the scope to make sure what the project is all about and what all can be expected from the project the third step we have is forming a schedule this schedule is

17:44 important to run or perform different tasks of a project each task having its own start date and end date this helps a project to finish in the schedule time and limit lastly we have making and generating progress reports in which all that wi during the tenure of the project is documented this helps in evaluating the project and helps in the forthcoming projects now let's have a look at the project planning fundamentals the First Fundamental that we have is the determination of scope cost and resources their determination helps us in having a rough estimate about the time that is required to finish the project it helps us in determining the number of people required and what should be their skill set we can divide the project into smaller manageable sections and this is made possible with the help of work breakdown structure the second f m al refers to identifying the

18:30 problem there are several techniques by which we can collect information and discover issues there may be several problems in a project and in that case several risks or issues are prioritized and the risk that requires immediate attention is dealt with first then comes identification of stakeholders when we can identify the stakeholders we can know who all will be affected and in what way which helps us having a better understanding of the project stakeholders may be anybody they may be the part of the project team or project manager ERS or customers they help during the project and contribute to its success then the last fundamental we will discuss is defining project objectives a project plan is made keeping in mind the requirements of the project team and expectations of the stakeholders if the project team can meet the expectations of the stakeholders then only we can say that

19:16 the project is successful now when we know about project planning and its fundamentals it's time to see why project planning is so important project planning reduces the cost and time of the project as every step is monitored and optimized in the best possible manner project planning increases employee satisfaction as every employee who is a part is engaged in the team for improved project performance project planning helps in the implementation of quality assurance as the output of every step is duly tested lastly project planning helps in reducing project risk as planning helps to analyze prioritize and deal with that risk moving on let's have a look at the tools for project planning the first tool that we have is a gan chart today Gan charts are one of of the most popular project management tools they help in tracking the status

20:02 of the work at a particular time and their independencies on each other Gan charts help in showing different phases and steps involved in a project the second tool we will talk about is critical path method or CPM critical path method helps in scheduling the project activities so that the project runs properly the critical path method focuses on the longest stretch of dependent tasks and determines the time needed to complete them the next tool is Project evaluation and review Techni or per chart per provides a graphical representation of the Project's timeline explaining the independencies of different tasks this tool not only helps in making a schedule but also helps in coordinating with all the team members the fourth tool we will check is work breakdown structure work breakdown structure is a very common tool that

20:47 makes it possible for the team to break its work into manageable sections work breakdown structure is a step toep process that helps in completing the project efficiently the last tool we will see is Project documentation project documentation is an integral part of the project life cycle project documentation helps in understanding the mistakes done during the project and more importantly provides guidelines for the upcoming project now when we know about different tools for project planning it becomes essential that we know the necessary steps of project planning there are seven steps in Project planning let's have a look at each of them in detail the first step is identification of stakeholders as we have discussed stakeholders could be anybody they could be a part of the team or a project manager or a customer when we identify stakeholders we can find out

21:33 the expectations and requirements that are to be looked upon in this project this gives us a clearer picture of the project and helps in establishing the project scope so the next step we have is defining the project scope this helps in determining a list of specific project goals and deliverables that are to be achieved during the course of the project after we have defined the project scope it is time to set project objectives and prioritize them the initial ideas that were there before are now elaborated and final steps to complete the project are defined in the next step the deliverables are determined after all project deliverables are the only reason why the project is being created this step involves finding out what these deliverables will be and the deadlines of the delivery then the step that comes into picture is creating a project schedule the project schedule refers to

22:20 the guidelines when a particular task is to be started and when it is supposed to end this helps in monitoring the growth of the project and later helps in generating progress reports the next step is the step of risk analysis this step plays an extremely important role in the success of the overall project it helps in identifying the risk prioritizing them and taking steps to limit them the last step in Project planning is to generate progress reports in this step we update the stakeholders about the project growth and it is done so that all the concerned team members can have a look at the progress of the project after all this information Max thanks Jack for the explanation and look looks forward to plan projects within the budget and of better quality agile project management as the name suggests is a flexible approach to building a

23:06 project in agile project management the project is broken down into several stages or Sprints agile does not work on the principle of delivering the final product at the end of the project it works on delivering sections of a project or mini projects the process of project management in the case of agile is agile based so there won't be any central control of project manager as it was there in the traditional way of working before we move forth let's have a look at the Agile development cycle agile methodologies consist of several small Cycles or Sprints at the end of each stage we get a mini project there's a product backlog that explains new features changes in the existing features and several other improvements in the project then we have a Sprint backlog which has a list of tasks that are to be completed during each Sprint

23:52 the Sprint consists of planning designing execution testing and deployment stages and at the the end of each Sprint a mini project is delivered with every Sprint new features are added to the product which plays a significant role in the overall project growth after all the Sprints and early validation in the development the final deliverable has a fewer chances of failure let's now have a look at some reasons why Industries have started moving towards agile project management the first reason is high product quality when we talk about high product quality we refer to the build of the product as per stakeholders demands testing is performed at Short intervals of time wherever needed to ensure high quality of the product then another reason is customer satisfaction whatever is done in the project is known by the customer

24:37 the deliveries don't take longer durations as they used to take in the case of traditional ways the changes may be provided by the customer in the execution phase of the project third reason is reduced risk since the project is divided into Sprints so if the risk affects one Sprint it doesn't mean whole of the project will be at risk the process of risk analysis continues to take place with all the other processes another significant reason for agile project management is better and faster return on investment the project is now developed in several Sprints and each Sprint has its own version therefore the project becomes Market ready after a few Sprints only since the projects can now be released with ease and in shorter duration this helps the organization to stay ahead in competition with respect to other organizations which have still

25:24 not moved to Agile methodology now we shall check the principles of aile agile project management there are 10 principles for successful agile project management the first principle is the satisfaction of the customer by delivering the project fast and with least number of Errors the next principle refers to decreasing the amount of time between the phase of planning and delivery the third principle states that the team of managers and developers work together and increase the productivity of their work the next principle states that the changes requested by the stakeholders can be taken into consideration and worked upon during the development phasee as well the fifth principle pays attention to the factor of coordination among the team members then the sixth principle refers to the process of monitoring and tracking the progress of

26:10 the project at the end of each Sprint and making amendments wherever needed moving on the next principle states that there must be a feeling of trust and support towards the team to complete the Project's objectives the next principle emphasizes on face-to-face conversations with the development team the face Toof ation helps in both solving problems and easy knowledge sharing then the ninth principle emphasizes on finding Solutions and maximizing the amount of work done with Simplicity this ensures timely completion of tasks by all the team members the last principle states that scrum tools like monday.com or Zoho Sprints must be used to simplify the complicated codes which further helps in Saving Time We Shall now see the steps in agile project management the goal of

26:57 agile methodology is is to produce shorter development life cycles and more frequent product releases than traditional waterfall project management so we will now check six steps in agile project methodology the first step in the process is Project planning project planning includes feasibility study development of scope breaking the project into executable tasks or Sprints and then estimating the amount of time needed to complete those Sprints the second step is the step of road map creation a road map is a plan of action that shows how a project shall evolve over time a list of all the features that the final product should have is created and the steps to achieve those features are taken the next important step is release planning since we are doing the project keeping in mind the agile project methodology the project

27:42 will complete in Sprints that means there will be the release of features at the end of each cycle and unlike the traditional waterfall model the development Cycles will be smaller the fourth step in agile project management is Sprint planning the Sprints are made keeping in mind what all is to be accomplished in that particular Step At the beginning of each Sprint the goal of that Sprint is decided and steps to achieve that goal are taken the next step in the process emphasizes on daily meetings there are short meetings every day to discuss if the team was able to finish the task for each Sprint and check if there are any amendments that are required each team member talks about what they achieved in the last print and what are they going to work on in the next Sprint the last step is the

28:27 step of of Sprint review and retrospective there are two meetings after each Sprint first meeting is for the Sprint review this meeting is with the stakeholders to show them the finished product this helps both sides to build a relationship and discuss if there are any issues in the end product the second meeting is for having a Sprint retrospective this meeting involves the stakeholders to discuss what went well and what went wrong during the Sprint Sprint retrospective takes place after the Sprint review and before the next Sprint planning now when we know the steps needed for agile project methodology we must understand some agile project management Frameworks there are several Frameworks available today here we will be discussing some of the most popular Frameworks the first framework we will discuss is the canbin

29:13 framework Canan framework is a well-known framework for implementing agile software development in the case of Canan framework work items are represented on the canman board which helps all the team members to see the state of every piece of work at any time canman board not only helps in visualizing the work but also optimizing the workflow among the team the next framework we will discuss today is the scrum framework scrum framework is a popular framework for managing complex knowledge work like in the field of research and Advanced Technologies scrum is a simple framework that helps team work together and learn through their experiences gained while working on a problem the third framework we will see today is the hybrid framework the hybrid

29:58 framework is a combination of agile methodology and non-agile methodology in the case of a hybrid framework planning is done using the traditional way of project management while the execution and delivery is done using the agile methodology since the hybrid is a combination of the two it handles the requirement changes and delivers the product in different stages the fourth and the last framework we will see is the lean framework the lean framework works on the principle of providing maximum customer value and creating zero waste it focuses on optimizing the flow of products all through the value stream this helps in eliminating waste all through the process and create processes that requires less human efforts this also simplifies the process of information management and makes it more

30:45 accurate finally let's have a look at some companies that have opted for agile project management today around 22% of the organizations worldwide have all their teams working on the principle of agile project methodology let's have a look at some of the most prominent companies in the world that use agile project management in the list we have IBM Cisco AT&T Microsoft Phillips and Samsung if you're interested in becoming a certified project manager then you are at the right place this tutorial will teach you everything you need to know about the project management professional certification we'll cover all the important stuff like how to start a project how to make sure it goes smoothly and how to finish it strong by the end of this video you'll have all the skills and knowledge to lead
