What This Course Won’t Cover

This is a short, beginner-friendly fundamentals course.  Since this is an introduction to project management, we focus on some of the most common concepts and terms, and we don’t cover topics in full detail, just the basics. If you’d like to learn project management in-depth, you can check out our Project+ course where we teach all there is to know about all of the major project management fundamentals.

To keep it concise, in this course we do not cover these topics in-depth:

• Important project documentation
• Formulas for estimating and calculations
• Risk management (identifying, analyzing, tracking, or responding to risks)
• Detailed scheduling methods (Work Breakdown Structures, dependencies, Critical Path Method, estimation)
• Procurement and vendor management
• Change control and issue management
• Performance management techniques (Earned Value Management, dashboards, burndown charts
• Important project life cycle activities from initiation to closing
• Exam prep, practice tests, or certification strategies

Again, we won’t be covering these more in-depth topics listed above – while we may introduce them, we will not cover them in detail. If you find yourselves wanting to learn more about them, they are fully covered in our 12-hour CompTIA Project+ Full Certification Course.
