The Basics of Project Management

In this 60‑minute deep dive, we walk you step by step through what makes a project a “project,” how project management brings clarity and control, and why roles like the project manager and project team matter.

We will also go over the explanation of key terms like outcome, product, program, portfolio, value delivery system as well as how exactly they fit together using a real‑world example of building a mobile app.

Whether you’re just starting out in your career or looking to get a solid grasp on the basics, this video will arm you with practical tips and clear definitions.
