Course Description
Are you a software or IT engineer who wants get move into management?
Do you feel you have hit a glass ceiling in terms of your career growth?
Well becoming a project manager with IT background will fast track you into the management careers.
The software industry is one of the fastest growing industries across the globe. As the software industry grows into unimaginable size, one of the most critical roles in the software industry is that of a software Project Manager.
A software project has many moving parts which need to to be managed as an entire stream of activities which must be completed in a nicely choreographed manner. Each of these activities has its own goals, schedules, resources, and costs associated with each of them. Without a Software Project Manager, it becomes next to impossible for the organizations to properly execute on all the aspects of the project activities and deliver the software to a client within the stipulated timeline and under the budgeted cost.
Software Project Management involves many stages or phases in the entire Software Development cycle or lifetime. These may vary slightly from organization to organization. However, the fundamental principles of Software Project Management remain the same.
At a high level, the Software Project Manager along with the team initiates a Project, Plans the project, Executes the Project and complete the Project.
Of course, this is a very brief and high-level description of what an actual project manager does – but the whole success of the software project relies on how effectively the project manager manages the project. A software or IT project can be managed using various methodologies; like the Waterfall Model and Agile model. In the project, we will go over these methodologies and all other aspects of software and IT project management.
As companies struggle to find skilled project managers; experienced software and IT Engineers are in a great place to be able to learn the skills required for project management and move into these roles. As seasoned engineers you already have the technical know-how and depth about how software is built. Once you learn the management aspects of software and IT projects you will be able to manage these projects much more efficiently and effectively by applying your existing skills.
In fact, this is the fastest growth path in your career which can elevate you from an engineer into the management role very quickly.
Just look at some of these amazing statistics:
The median salary for software project managers is $91,500 in the U.S.
85% of firms have setup a formal PMO (project management office), up 5% from 2014. Almost half (45%) of PMO staffers have earned their PMP (Project Management Professional) certification.
Barely over half (56%) of project managers are certified.
However, Project Management is just not about these numbers. Do you know what it takes to
Initiate a software or IT project?
Plan the project based on estimations, schedules, and other constraints?
Ensure the project is being executed as per the stakeholder's expectations?
Manage the risks which may arise during the execution of the project?
Ensure the product or service being produced is of high quality?
Monitor the progress of your project and report it to the stakeholders?
These are some of the fundamental Challenges that companies ranging from early-stage startups to Global Fortune 500 companies face on a daily basis. If you can solve these problems for these companies, they will be happy to pay you top dollar for your skills.
This course teaches you how to initiate, plan, execute, monitor and close your software and IT related projects.

a well-presented and well-assembled course, a lineup of topics built with a logical sense and with great attention to detail, from the exhibition to the graphics. Rich in content that is certainly useful even for those who have been part of the game for years.

Many spelling errors Distracting editing of videos (overlapping transitions are dizzying). Samples tests were too easy, too many obviously wrong answers available.
By Irena Cantaragiu on 3/1/2021
Great ! The only thing i would consider is reviewing a bit wording on the quizzes to make them clearer and ensure accuracy.
By Mark Edge on 4/4/2020
I am using this for a career change to software PM so hope for more software specific detail rather than general PM / Prince2 issues. I've enjoyed the course. The presenter is engaging. I possibly need something more detailed and specific to software / app development as this is a new area for me. As an experienced project manager already (in another field) it was a useful process recap for me.

I like to watch everything when i attend a class, but this intro is a bit long and off-topic. Good presentation skills though, i'm impatient to see the rest.
By Sharry Jean Balane on 9/26/2019
The course is so detailed and hand outs are given after every video. I would recommend this course to all beginners project management. One more thing I would recommend is to give students sample document . Such as sample checklist for risk assessment, sample list of deliverables and etc.
By Nata House on 9/16/2019
Sim, mas acho que seria muito melhor se como parte do curso deram um item adicional (antes do questionario) de exemplos da vida real dentro das empresas de TI. Situaçoes que acontecem e exemplos para cada um dos modulos
