Introduction to Project Management

Introduction to project management

“Time is the true value of our society. Get organized so that you can live your project in the best way and so that you can enjoy 100% of your personal life without much stress. Pursue the balance between healthy control and organization and your artistic pursuit. Try not to have a kamikaze attitude and spend some time also on tasks that you are not excited about. Control and organize the basics of your work, do not go into "over-controlling" mode and enjoy the rest. Now is the time to put together everything we have seen and learned so far, and create a masterbook for managing your project. It will be a file type spreadsheets or project management software, where each tab corresponds to the tools analyzed during the course. Thus, you will have the basic structure to monitor your projects. The objective is to be able to easily and jointly observe the basic indicators of your project or projects and evaluate if you are achieving your objectives. By the way, remember to develop a project that is different from mine, so you can apply everything you have learned to your company or personal project. Before saying goodbye, we are going to review the essential steps for the completion of the final project. Share a description of each phase and accompany it with images and captures so that we can know all the details of your project. Time blocking Define your agenda and mark time for planning your projects. It can be analog (old school) or it can be a digital calendar.

Kanban board Create a kanban board (in Excel or using some other software) where you write down tasks of your project or your day to day, classifying them according to their priority. Gantt chart Create a Gantt chart (in Excel or using some other software) for the scheduling of a project or a type of management: perhaps the commercial management of your business or your social networks, for example. Streamline management with Excel Make the most of the potential of spreadsheets with the Excel tricks you've learned. Create a tab in your document where you gather the most important data to periodically check for some type of management that is important for your project. Workspace Use some of the techniques or tips to focus better that we saw in Unit 4. As I said, this is a win-win, you organize yourself to be better and you take advantage of your planning time to do it being well. Now share your final project with all of us by clicking on "Create your project". Remember to share both the final result of your project and the steps that have led you to it. Finally, I encourage you to participate in the forum, comment on the work of colleagues and share your experiences, doubts or advice. I will try to spend as much time as possible, but I ask for your patience, since there will be times when I cannot do it due to day-to-day work commitments. I really appreciate your attention and that you have decided to invest your time in following this course. The development of this course has been a personal achievement, in addition, I really like that someone can take advantage of my knowledge; it is a time saver to follow valid advice. Thank you very much for joining me. See you on the forum!”

“Final Project We reached the end of this Domestika course. I hope you learned the necessary steps to create your own master workbook of your project. If you follow the steps, planning and organizing your project is easier than it seems. Keep in mind that each of us has specific needs. When you upload your final project, show us the stages of your project, from planning and management to the visualization of your progress. I showed you different planning and organization methods. I'd love to see the application of time blocking on your calendar. You can also share your Kanban board to define...”
