COURSE OVERVIEW

Welcome to the Essential Concepts in Project Management course. This program will equip you with the knowledge and capabilities required to understand what a project is, the general rules for project management, and the underlying assumptions that shape modern project practices. You will explore examples of major projects in history, including the building of the Egyptian great pyramid at Giza as an example of a project, and the construction of the railroad system in the United States as an example of a program. You will examine how advances in civilisation have influenced project management, how business management trends reshape project approaches, and why project management remains fundamental in fast-changing organisational environments.

This course begins by examining the natural phases of projects and the project life cycle in relation to resource usage. This section explains the integration of top-down and bottom-up planning approaches, the level of definition needed before teams can confidently progress, and the phases of the project life cycle. You will explore the difference between the project life cycle and the product life cycle, how to determine whether a project phase is complete, and how product life-cycle stages interact with project design, planning, and implementation activities.

Another area of learning focuses on project design and planning. You will examine the reasons why information and decisions may be insufficient to proceed, the importance of creating a project plan, and the relationship between project management phases and product development stages. This section explains how to integrate consecutive projects, how to manage the triple constraint plus risk, and how projects evolve across concept development, planning, design, building, and teardown or retirement stages. You will also explore how contextual and environmental differences change the nature and complexity of project work.

A further area of learning explores project management practices across different settings. You will examine how project management is applied across industries, how the standard approach is tailored to different project management styles, and why different sectors adopt unique project methodologies. This section explains the evolution of project management approaches, how historical developments shape current frameworks, and why adaptability is essential when managing diverse project types in dynamic environments.

By the end of this course you will be able to understand core project management principles, interpret project life cycles, differentiate between project and product life cycles, assess readiness for progressing through project phases, develop and integrate project plans, balance the triple constraint plus risk, manage projects across multiple contexts, recognise sector-specific project management approaches, and apply evolving project frameworks to strengthen delivery outcomes and organisational performance.

Really good! Could have had 5 stars but…
Format: Kindle
I thought this book was an easy and entertaining read. The MCs had some depth, and the angsty lead up to these two colliding was very well done. I love them together, I felt their chemistry, and this book could have had five stars if it wasn’t for the weirdly rushed and unbelievable way the ending was written. The back and forth was ridiculous and it seems she can’t change the way she has originally perceived him - as a rich, pompous jerk (despite only having his expensive kitchenware and childhood snark as her evidence). Then we are supposed to believe that out of no where, for no reason (apart from finding out he’s moving) she suddenly wants him back? And then despite how hurtful her words had been, he takes her back? Idk this ending was messy, and there didn’t seem to be enough written or enough plot for any of this to be believable. I won’t disregard the entire story because I didn’t like the ending, but I do wish it had been better.

Here's Three Reasons Why You Should Read This Book
Format: Hardcover
Actual rating: 4.5 stars I'm going to write this review a bit differently than I normally do, by telling you three things: 1. I am definitely reading more from Julie Buxbaum in the future. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I truly enjoyed this novel. There was so much to love about it, and while the underlying story wasn't revolutionary, I loved the unique way Julie Buxbaum navigated the topic of high school and feeling out of place. There was just something special about her writing style, as well as the characters she created. You will easily fall in love with the story and the characters, especially Jessie (our MC). I never got tired of reading this book, in fact, I actually didn't want to stop reading it! Julie Buxbaum managed to tell a story that was filled with sadness and depth, mixed with humor and fun. Yes, I figured out who S.N. was pretty early on (as I suspect most other readers will too), but this certainly didn't detract from the story in any way. In fact, it keeps you reading because you want to see how Jessie and S.N.'s story unfolds. 2. This book is incredibly real and raw, and that's the reason I loved it so much. “Just because you're strong doesn't mean you shouldn't ask for help sometimes. Remember that.”> Tell Me Three Things leaves you with a whole bunch of emotions all at once. The story instantly transports you back to when you were 16 and in high school (if you're an older reader like myself that is). And honestly, Julie Buxbaum just gets it. She captures exactly how it feels to be on the outside looking in, when you have multiple fears of not only the future but just how you're going to survive in this world where it seems like no one wants to be your friend. She captures just what it means when you hesitate being yourself because your insecure about who you are and you're not quite sure of anything or anyone. “He's more like me, I think: burdened with the realization that what goes on his mind is somehow different from what goes on everyone else's. Even those close to us. And how you can't think about that for too long, because that thought- the truth of your own isolation- is too much to bear.” Countless readers will be able to relate to Jessie because she is you and me and pretty much everyone trying to navigate the crazy world that is high school. Ultimately, Julie Buxbaum created very human characters that show what it means to be a teenager today. It also makes you wonder what if you had someone like S.N. to help you out during your experience. Would things have been different? I wish I had this book when I was 16 because this book would have probably been my lifeline in many ways. But the one excellent thing about this novel is that it reminds all of us to sometimes just let it all go, and let things happen the way they are supposed to. Trust the journey because you never know who might reach out and come into your life. 3. You need to read this book now! I high recommend adding this book to your TBR right away, and the reading it as soon as possible. There is so much to love about this book and I think everyone will have a different experience while reading. Some might not like it, but if you're like me, you'll find something to take away from Jessie's character. It was a quick-read that will appeal to many contemporary fans. This is a story of love, friendship, and finding yourself. But it is also a story of acceptance. Happy reading :)

Because a Nobody is always a Somebody
Format: Kindle
Tell Me Three Things by Julie Buxbaum 4.5 stars!!! “In the Venn diagram of my life, my imagined personality and my real personality have never converged. Over email and text, though, I am given those few additional beats I need to be the better, edited version of myself. To be that girl in the glorious intersection.” I love a good YA, despite my forty-two years of age. When a YA is done well, age is just a number and the story has the capacity to transport you back to your teens and this is what Julie Buxbaum did. This book was the perfect balance of emotion, banter and wit and with poetic prose that keeps those pages turning you will find yourself turning the last page before you know it or want it. “Maybe home doesn’t have to be a place.” Jessie’s mother died two years ago, she thought that was the worst of it, but her father drops a doozie, he has eloped, got married and now they need to pack their bags and move to Chicago to move into the home of her step-mother and her son. Leaving the home she loves and her friends behind Jessie is despondent especially when she sees what a far cry from her norm her step-mothers home really is. “One of the worst parts about someone dying is thinking back to all those times you didn’t ask the right questions, all those times you stupidly assumed you’d have all the time in the world. And this too: how all that time feels like not much time at all. What’s left feels like something manufactured. The overexposed ghosts of memories.” With a mansion, a fancy private school, a pain in the arse step brother and a step mother that just keeps trying Jessie feels like one tiny little fish in an ocean of posh, entitled sharks. Jessie struggles to fit in at school, friendship dynamics that have been born since birth and social standing are hard to infiltrate and with cliques as tight as theirs Jessie was fighting a losing battle. The new girl is the easy target. “Welcome. To. The. Jungle.” Fresh blood in school means new eye candy and it isn’t long before Jessie captures unwanted attention, but it seems she has found an ally, if only she knew who it was. “Somebody Nobody” is her intel, a friend who wishes to remain anonymous and gives Jessie the lay of the land, who to trust and who to befriend. They soon become fast friends communicating only through words, but it is these words that Jessie becomes reliant upon and the more they communicate the more she wants to know who it is. “Perfect days are for people with small, realizable dreams. Or maybe for all of us, they just happen in retrospect; they’re only now perfect because they contain something irrevocably and irretrievably lost.” This was a fantastic read, I adored everything about it and while I “knew” who “Somebody Nobody” was I wasn’t really, truly sure until the reveal happened. You know who want it to be, but the thought of it not being them was heart breaking. “He’s more like me, I think: burdened with the realization that what goes on in his mind is somehow different from what goes on in everyone else’s. Even those closest to us.” Julie Buxbaum perfectly navigates school life and that constant ache to fit in, to be somebody, to be seen for who you really are, not what people want to see. The difficulties of life after death on both child and lone parent and the impact moving on really has. But most of all it was about friendships, the companionships, the highs and lows and finally about love. Getting to know that someone so deeply, without a face, without an image, to sway perceptions…know the person first. Adored it!! “Tell me three things…”
