​​Top free courses on Project Management🧵

Project Management is becoming an important skill for non-PMs as companies transition their models from Processes to Projects.

I work as a Business Analyst in Banking and here’s my curated list of great PM courses.

#ProjectManagement

I believe that every research we do is a project. You can't optimize the research itself with PM techniques. But you can definitely optimize the way you engage with colleagues be it Requirements Elicitation, Stakeholder Engagement, or Project Closure.

1. PMI (pmi .org) has 3 free courses on Project Management you can take online?

One of these courses was my first experience with Project Management and it was a great start.

Even though a course was a bit detached it will give you a basic understanding of the most important concepts and rules from which you can build.

You can enroll at pmi .org with your account for free.

But there are many other free courses worth taking.




2. HSC (oxfordhomestudy .com) offers courses:
Project Management
Six Sigma.

3. On Udemy .com there are courses:

Project Management Templates Creation Course
Project Management: Manage Projects like a Professional
Project Management for Non-Project Managers.

4. At Edx .org I’d recommend courses:

Introduction to Project Management taught by the University of Adelaide
Applied Scrum for Agile Project Management from the University of Maryland.

5. At Coursera .org there are courses:

Project Management: The Basics for Success by the University of California
Fundamentals of Project Planning and Management by the University of Virginia.

Once you acquire basic understanding of Project Management, you can dive deeper on tools and techniques Project Managers use.
Those can be Scrum/Agile, Waterwall planning, Stakeholder management techniques, etc. depending on the way you and your team work.

📌 The MoSCoW #prioritization method for Business Requirements

The MoSCoW method is a prioritization technique used in project management to categorize business requirements into four categories: Must have, Should have, Could have, and Won't have. This allows business to prioritize which project requirements provide the best return on investment (ROI).

1. Must have: These are the essential requirements that are critical for the success of the project. They are non-negotiable and must be delivered in order for the project to be considered successful.
2. Should have: These requirements are important but not critical for the success of the project. They are considered high priority and should be included if possible, but can be deferred to a later phase if necessary.
3. Could have: These requirements are nice to have but not crucial for the success of the project. They are considered low priority and can be included if there is time and resources available, but can also be deferred to a later phase or dropped altogether.
4. Won't have: These requirements are not included in the current scope of the project. They may be considered for future phases or projects, but are not part of the current deliverables.

When distributing requirements into MoSCoW categories, several factors should be considered, including: Business value, Impact on stakeholders, Time sensitivity, Resource availability, Dependencies, Risks and constraints, and its Alignment with strategic goals.

To apply MoSCoW method, firstly, identify and list all the business requirements for the project. Categorize each requirement into one of the four categories. Work with stakeholders to validate and finalize the categorization of the requirements. Then use the prioritized list of requirements to guide project planning and decision-making.

Focus on delivering the must-have requirements first, then move on to should-have and could-have requirements as time and resources allow. Continuously review and update the prioritization of requirements as the project progresses and new information becomes available. Communicate the prioritization of requirements to all project stakeholders to manage expectations and ensure alignment on project scope and deliverables.

By using the MoSCoW method, businesses can prioritize their requirements and focus on delivering the most important features first, while also providing flexibility for including additional features as time and resources allow. This method helps to ensure that the most critical needs are met while also managing stakeholder expectations and project scope.
