By the end of this course you will be able to: - Perform a project assessment using information from previous projects and lessons learned - Identify key deliverables based on business requirements while managing customer expectations - Perform a stakeholder analysis and create a management plan - Analyze and develop a project organization - Create a project charter - Explain the business case for a project and calculate Net Present Value - Inform stakeholders of the charter and ensure all parties know the deliverables and expectations As part of the course, you will prepare organization charts, create a Stakeholder Register, and write a Project Charter based on an engineering project in a provided Case Study. The Stakeholder Register will outline the key parties to the project, their concerns and how you will manage their expectations.

Great course. Would recommend it for engineers who have collected relevant engineering experience and look for whats next in their career. Looking forward to attend the other modules as well.

This course will give in-depth knowledge of project management. Peer-graded assignments will help us a lot to think in other ways how others will proceed and learn from their assignments too.

Poorly structured, incredibly boring (not because of the material, but because of the presentation), hard to follow and stay engaged with the content. Course instructors need to work on engagement and the presentation of the material as it is not very clearly laid out. The PowerPoint type animations used to present the info seems very outdated and there is too much going on with each "slide."

There is nothing about this specialization that is "Engineering". This is just another project management certification with the same basic data. Very misleading.
