Great Learning Academy has introduced the Project Management Course, an 11.5-hour online course designed for professionals who want to plan, execute, and manage projects from start to finish. The course is suited for team leads, managers, coordinators, and learners involved in planning or delivering projects. It focuses on project objectives, scope, schedules, risks, Agile methods, Microsoft Excel, and AI-enabled project management tasks.
Why It Matters Now
Project work now requires structured planning, faster execution, clear communication, and stronger control over timelines, resources, and risks. This course addresses these needs by combining core project management concepts with Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid models, as well as Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Copilot, for practical workplace use.
Curriculum and Learning Outcomes
The curriculum begins with the foundations of Project Management, Project Initiation, Project Planning, Project Execution, Agile Project Management, Project Closing, Lean Six Sigma and the DMAIC Framework, Careers in Project Management, Project Management Using Microsoft Excel, and AI in Project Management.
Learners then move through the project life cycle, project manager roles and responsibilities, the triple constraint, and key project management methodologies. They then move into scope definition, objective setting, stakeholder mapping, project chartering, work breakdown structures, scheduling, resource allocation, risk management, and RACI planning.
The course also covers Agile, Scrum, hybrid project management, project closure, Lean Six Sigma concepts, DMAIC phases, Excel-based project management tasks, and Microsoft Copilot for project management support.
Applied Project Experience
The guided project, "Launching a New Company Website: End-to-End Project Management", places learners in the role of a project manager responsible for launching a public-facing company website. Learners apply project management concepts across the full project life cycle, create key documents, practice planning and execution techniques, assess risks, plan communication, manage stakeholders, and decide when to use Waterfall, Agile, or hybrid methods.
