You will learn the big picture of project management seen from a high-level, the definition of a project, what is project management and some foundational concepts.

The Big Picture of Project Management

The 6 Ws of Project Management

Example : Pyramid Project (Waterfall/ Predictive Approach)

This is an introduction to an example project called "Project Mortar & Pestle" which is a hypothetical food delivery app that allows customers to order freshly cooked food from nearby homes cooked by ordinary people, like UberEats, DoorDash and GrubHub but with home cooked food. The company is under pressure to enter the market quickly with a working product and has only a couple of months to do so. This is a minimum viable product with basic features and a prototype of how the app will look like. The project will be built using the Agile approach and will be used as an example to understand Agile concepts throughout the course. The basic features of the app include a homepage with a list of cuisines and options to order, confirm order, and rate the food and delivery. The goal is to build the app in the timeframe the company is aiming to deliver it to the market.

The big picture of Project Mortar & Pestle

A hypothetical project called "Mortar and Pestle by Drones" which aims to deliver homemade food using drones instead of cars or bikes. The project involves building a new drone software from scratch that can fly autonomously and avoid obstacles, while the app shows real-time updates to customers and home cooks. This project is riskier and more complex than the previous example, and it has uncertainties in its scope and outcome, and hence demonstrates why Agile approach is best suited for managing and executing such high-risk projects.
