Cheers for this, I have been researching "project management plan document example" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Tannilara Stupendous Transcendence - (just google it ) ? It is an awesome one of a kind guide for discovering how to getting 7000 plus project management and business templates minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my mate got great results with it.
Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "what is the role of project cost management?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Tannilara Stupendous Transcendence - (search on google ) ?

I'm studying Project Management and this is so much more helpful than the generic content I've come across so far. I'm a person who needs steps and specifics when leaning or it all becomes white noise, and seeing this process laid out step by step has given men the clarity and confidence to continue my studies! Thanks so much for this, Edward!

So far I have searched the internet, I have not seen any that is as good as this site. I have watched your videos and are so superb especially for new people into project management as myself. The great thing is you give scenarios and practicable examples. I have noted that what happens in the field mostly is different from theory, that is we are never given life piratical problems. Nor training consider or cater for new people in project management. Thank you and keep the good work.
I am a high school student and I have been assigned with a task regarding to a conversion of a garage into a flat and this really helped me as I have to put in a project management plan... thanks so much!
Thanks for this video! After reading several books on PM, you're the first who can actually sequence the steps this way. I've subscribed and will be watching your content from now on.
Hi Muhammad. Thank you for your support. The channel is still new. Just started last year. But I would appreciate if you share with your friends. Thanks again for watching!
Wow! Where was this tut?!!! All this time I was looking for such content! I wasted a lot of time and suddenly in less than 20 mins he explained it all and even better!
Edward, I LOVED this video! I'm a thrice renewed PMP and love the high-level overview of the process steps, set in lay-people's terms! At the end, you reference the next step: "Execution," and say "But that's another video!" Which video would that be? Do tell!
Hi Sam...Good to hear from you. Thank you for pointing this out. I guess it's too late now as the video is already published and cannot be retracted. Unfortunately I would just have to live with it 🙁. Please stay in touch!!
@@ProjectManagementVideos Not yet, I'm considering it. I have completed MBA with Project Management specialization. Is PMP essential to crack a Project manager job?
Highly interesting and very educative. I have a question. Can you please tell me typically how much time does it consume to prepare a Project Management Plan for a Greenfield Mineral Processing Plant Project.
Hi Jayanti...I am not sure there is a set amount of time to plan a project. I know you stated it is greenfield, but it depends on the scope of responsibilities that the PM has. Sometimes the design work is done, and sometime you are responsible for it. Also, you might have a massive project team and/or infrastructure, which would help expedite the time. Just know that planning and executing can overlap to a certain degree, so you can start to execute even when the whole project is not yet planned. You also need to take sponsor constraints into consideration. If they are in a hurry, then you have to move faster and bring in consultants to speed up the process. I am not sure I can give one answer for duration of planning. You have to start with as much understanding of the project and project management scope to know what planning needs to happen. Hope this helps.
Hi Edward, thank you very much for your reply. With the different factors you have mentioned, it definitely helps get a close enough estimate in preparation of the project management plan. Thanks again. Jayanti
Not sure if I understood your question correctly. The resources are the physical human and material resources you will need to get the scope of work completed. Based on how many units of these resources you need, you can estimate how much your project will cost and you can plan on acquiring them. Hope this helps.
Do you have any advice on developing a plan in line with another plan? Scenarios being that you are working with a 3rd party (let’s call them a software developer). They have a delivery plan (MS Project) but I need to develop a business readiness plan in tandem. Any advice, links to tutorials would be gratefully received - thank you!
Hi Natalie...When planning, start with your objectives first. Your objectives are essentially the building blocks of a project charter. Although you and the developers are working on the same overall objectives, you each have your own individual objectives. For you, the developer is dependency when it comes to scope and schedule. You can plan your readiness plan with the assumption that certain deliverables will be completed by the developer at certain milestone dates. Your readiness planning is tied to their progress, so this means you will need to collaborate on the collective plan. You will need to schedule more frequent meetings with the developer to get updates and in turn update your plans. Any issues from their end will affect your plans. I can go on like this, but the bottom line is that they are a dependency in your plans and you will be planning around them, and try to influence change in their plans that support your plans. This is similar to managing a program where multiple components are interconnected, and the overall objective of the program will be measured by the benefits we get when all components are in place, rather than outcomes from the individual efforts. You might be managing a program, and programs view plans based on strategy and benefits, and so they are planned differently from projects. Hope this helped a bit.
Could we use project management plans to manage (projects included in strategic plan) for a university? I noticed that universities have strategic plan for the university at all and strategic plans for its units, why? I think it is better to have pmp for each project(of a corporate strategic plan) related to all unites in the university.. hope I illustrate my question.. many thanks 🙏 eng.
If I understand correctly, you are wondering if one project can be done to benefit the university as whole to support strategic plans. Yes. Some projects can be like that. However, when organizations prepare their strategic plans, they come up with goals and objectives, which they pass down to their business units or functional departments, who in turn initiate projects to deliver on these objectives. So, you end up with each unit having its own projects. What the organization needs in this instance is a portfolio manager who looks at all projects underway to map them to the strategic plan and determine how and when they should be initiated. Hope this helps.
Hello Edward. Your video’s are really good and are helpful for me. I am studying at a university in PM and i was thinking to clear CAPM certification so can you suggest me to how to prepare for it and also other certifications to be cleared which would help me in future to build a career in PM. Thank you.
Six Sigma is a process or product improvement discipline. It fits under quality and may be used when addressing recurring defects or issues in either the project management process or in making the product of your project. I personally don't always see the connection with projects as I think it applies more during an operational or product improvement project. However, it does fit in projects. Think of something like "Quality of communication or documentation", "quality of estimates". In such cases, it makes sense. On a construction project, what do you do if you constantly have to redo what was just done? Try to figure what's causing the defect or variation? That's Six Sigma... Hope this helps.
Such a great video. Is it possible to share the sample project management plan for any imaginary company? It would be really great to understand how things look on paper once we follow these steps. Can you pls share? :)
Hi Sharad...I am not sure it will always be one plan to cover all sub-plans. This is a sequence of several plans that make up the project management plan. For a more practical view of project management, I would suggest you watch my practical PM series at ua-cam.com/play/PLiu-wIHnEii0v_4F-1JmR-Rdwctm4irvy.html. Best Regards!
Hoping someone with a bit more knowledge on the subject can explain. Why would you define the requirements after you have developed the PMP? Would it not be better to define the requirements first? Thanks!
The requirements are pretty much the first real planning step in developing the project management plan. Not sure where u got that requirements are after the plan??
@@ProjectManagementVideos That's what I thought. However, step 4 is to develop the PMP, step 5 is to collect requirements from the identified stakeholders?
Your sequence of events was very easy to follow. I'm new to PM and it was nice to her it explained this way. Thank you!
