Project Management Online Certificate
The primary objective of Northeastern University’s online Principles of Project Management program is to relate standardized project management principles to each participant’s day-to-day, on-the-job activities, so that practices learned in class can be applied the same day in the “real world.” Though not exclusively a Project Management Professional (PMP®) exam preparation class, participants will be able to answer practice PMP® exam questions in an online environment similar to the actual online exam format.
Unique to Northeastern, each week during the certificate program students will receive:
• Usable tips, templates, and other tools
• Easily accessible reference sources (in print and online)
• Access to current industry articles and best practices
• Up-to-date information about careers within project management, and the project management profession
• A discussion topic linking course material to actual practices at their own job site
• A chance to practice developing (and get feedback on) key documents, using a real-world case study project
• Interactive discussion with other students and the course instructor
The 12-week program is aligned with the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) -- 3rd edition, the Project Management Institute’s published standard for project management.
The Program Provides:
• An introduction to project management
• Effective project startup processes
• Plans to address project risk
• Tested practices for staffing and communicating clearly with your project team
• Methods for accurately scoping project requirements, schedule and budget
• Examples of performance metrics to maintain project quality
• Tools for maintaining control of the project throughout its lifecycle
• Practice questions for the PMP® exam
