Self-paced learning program

Understanding Project Management

Accenture research predicts that the future of work will be more project-based than it is today

Project management skills will be central to achieve organizational objectives as businesses shift their operating models and prepare for the post-pandemic world.

Understanding Project Management (UPM) is a web-based learning resource that helps experienced and aspiring project managers understand the five process groups of best practice project management. The course can be taken as pre-work to help users prepare for more advanced workshops or as a standalone project management primer to better understand fundamental project management. It can also be used as an ongoing reference tool to reinforce concepts and prior learning.

Note: With content aligned to PMBOK 6th edition, users can claim 4 PDUs through the PMI (Project Management Insitutute) Continuing Certification Requirements System (CCRS).

How we can help you:

• Better project team goal alignment and agreement on more realistic project deadlines and budgets
• More effective planning to mobilize project teams and stakeholders
• A common project management terminology allowing for cross functional project teams to speak the same language
• Consistent application of the triple constraint theory resulting in greater profitability

Implementation

The self-paced, 4-hour program comprises 18 learning bursts in 6 modules. The learning burst is a proven instructional approach that includes multiple instructional elements addressing the same content. For example, a first-time user will benefit from first going through the instructional video, but an experienced project manager might opt to view the 30-second animation to refresh and confirm their knowledge of the subject.

Each learning burst includes:

• Narrated infographic video – Core instruction
• Animation – A 30-sec summary of the video
• Learning check – Fact/Fiction questions
• Summary – Key learning points

Each module includes a timed quiz to assess learning. The final assessment is in the form of a rich, moments-based simulation at the end of the program.
