• Narrative Applications in the Technology Project Management Bootcamp (presentation)

Course Overview

The 18-week Technology Project Management Boot Camp takes a multidisciplinary approach to develop in-demand technical, leadership, and business management skills. The boot camp is divided into three modules: traditional, agile, and hybrid project management. Each module contains four weeks of content and a two-week project.

Learning goals

• Explain each stage of the traditional project management lifecycle and create all documentation required to drive a project plan from initiation to closure.

• Elicit requirements from stakeholders, model them as use cases and use them as input for executing the four phases of the testing life cycle.

• Apply agile principles to the working environment to conduct release, capacity, and velocity planning.

• Apply your new skills and knowledge to the Professional Scrum Master™ Level I exam.  If you already have a scrum certification, you’ll have an opportunity to pursue Scrum.org certifications in Professional Scrum Master™ II (PSM II) or Professional Scrum Product Owner™ I (PSPO I).

• Utilize modern software like Jira to build project plans and reports.

Organizational Skills eLearning Modules

For this eLearning development project, I worked with a client, Raleigh Water, to analyze their training needs, agree on a design approach, and develop, test, and deliver three, approximately ten-minute, learning modules created in Adobe Captivate.
