Explore Essential Project Management Frameworks:

This course provides a detailed overview of widely used frameworks, each with unique strengths tailored to different project types and industries:

• Waterfall: Ideal for projects with clear, fixed requirements and a linear, sequential order of steps, commonly used in manufacturing and construction. Learn its five phases, from requirements identification and design to execution, testing, and delivery.
• Lean: Focuses on eliminating waste and maximising value by streamlining processes and doing "more with less." Discover how to identify value-creating steps, minimise inefficiencies, and achieve a waste-free system, often applied in manufacturing, construction, and healthcare.
• Agile (Scrum & Kanban): An umbrella term for flexible, iterative frameworks that welcome change.
  • Scrum: Utilises small, self-organised teams working in short cycles called sprints (1-4 weeks), with daily meetings and a visual Scrum taskboard. It promotes rapid delivery and continuous iterations, ideal for software development and creative agencies.
  • Kanban: Manages workflow visually on a board, offering more flexibility by delivering tasks as-needed without fixed sprints. It's highly adaptable to sudden priority changes and limits work in progress to enhance focus.

By the end of this course, you'll be empowered to confidently select and apply the ideal project management framework to optimise your team's workflow, achieve project success, and drive better outcomes for your organisation. Enrol today and transform your project management strategy!
