The Essentials of Project Management: PMBOK 7th Edition

📚 The video covers the 12 principles of project management.

🗂️ The project management body of knowledge is divided into three sections: project performance domains, tailoring those domains, and models, methods, and artifacts.

🙌 Team performance is important for successful project management, including shared ownership, high-performing teams, and leadership at all levels.

💡 The project life cycle and development cadence are related and impact the delivery of project deliverables.

🔄 There are different development approaches, such as predictive, adaptive, and hybrid, which determine how projects are managed.

📅 When aligning delivery cadence, development approach, and life cycle, factors like rhythm, meetings, product innovation, and stakeholder availability need to be considered.

💡 Project budgeting involves creating a cost baseline, contingency reserve, and management reserve.

👥 Considerations for project team composition include cost, expertise, and location.

📝 Effective communication in project planning requires considering the needs, information, and frequency of sharing.

🔧 Planning for physical resources involves estimating, managing the supply chain, and strategic procurement.

🔄 Change planning includes adapting the project plan, re-prioritizing, and baselining project artifacts.

📊 Metrics play a crucial role in planning and measuring project work.

🔗 Alignment is essential to ensure cohesion between project activities and artifacts.

🔑 The desired outcomes of project work include performance, effective communication, resource management, and continuous improvement.

📢 Project communications involve formal and informal methods, meetings, repositories, and addressing ad hoc requests.

🚚 Managing physical resources requires logistics planning, reducing waste, and effective procurement.
