After this course you can apply DPMM as a project manager: you justify a project in business terms, involve stakeholders deliberately, plan by products, keep a risk register and steer delivery in iterations through to an orderly close. Rather than repeating terminology, you work through one continuous case and make decisions you have to justify. The course suits you if you have passed the DPMM Foundation and are responsible for projects or programmes, for example in IT, transformation or regulated environments.
What you’ll take away.
- Build the business justification for a project and initiate it properly
- Map stakeholders and involve them iteratively throughout the project
- Plan by products and maintain and adapt a risk register
- Steer iterative execution and delivery
- Close and evaluate a project in an orderly way
