The course is designed in a way that helps you remember difficult project management-related vocabulary and specific project management terms. It is done not by directly giving you the definitions, but by offering a series of specially designed exercises to help you to guess the meanings of the new words and project management terms yourself. This approach makes the definitions stick in your memory.

The course is based on professional project management texts adapted from such sources as Project Management Body of Knowledge, Process Groups: A Practice Guide, Governance of Portfolios, Programs, and Projects: A Practice Guide published by Project Management Institute (PMI), the provider of the highly regarded Project Management Professional (PMP®) certification, and other.

Each unit contains an introductory case, which describes the project situation illustrating the importance of some project management concepts. It is followed by a series of articles on specific project management tools and techniques related to the concept. After reading an article and completing related exercises you will have an opportunity to apply each tool to a like-real project situation by solving a short case study. You will be able to check your solutions by comparing them to the example solutions accompanied by detailed explanations. At the end of each unit, there is a test on the new vocabulary, terms, and project management concepts learned in the unit.

Good luck with your studies!
