Regular (or Waterfall) project management is like building a LEGO set using the step-by-step instructions that come in the box. We decide exactly what we will build at the beginning and follow the steps carefully until it's done. It's difficult to make changes once we'

Do you remember when we play video games together? Sometimes, we plan to play a particular game, but then you discover a new game that seems more fun. So, we change our plans and start playing the new game instead, right? This is a little bit like Agile Project Management.

An initiative is like a special mission or a big idea you want to make happen. Let's say you're playing a video game and want to reach the final level and beat the final boss. That's your initiative! It's a big task

Project management is like building a LEGO rocket ship. You have your pieces (resources), your instructions (the plan), and a picture of what it should look like when you're done (the goal). The building process (the project) has a clear start and end. Once the rocket ship is

Imagine you're building a giant LEGO city. The whole process of planning what you need, deciding how to put it all together, managing all the different LEGO blocks, and then making sure everything is working well when you're done is similar to project management. Product management

Let's dig into what program management is all about. Remember building an entire city of Lego sets? The fire station, the police station, the park, the houses, and the super cool race track? Each one of these Lego sets is like a project. They each have a start,

Let's think about it using something we really love: Lego. Think about when we build a Lego set. It has a specific goal (to make the set according to the instructions), it has a clear beginning (opening the box and sorting the bricks), and end (the set is

Change Management can be a bit tricky, but let's break it down with something simple. Do you remember when you got your new video game console? At first, it seemed confusing to use. You had to learn what all the buttons do, how to save your game, and

The Six Constraints Model is a more holistic approach to project management, considering a broader range of factors that can influence the success of a project. The concept of expanding the traditional Iron Triangle (or Triple Constraint) of project management to include more elements has been around for some time

The phrase "the customer is always right" is a popular saying in the business world, emphasizing the importance of customer satisfaction. And it's true that customer satisfaction is a key goal in any business or project. In project management, meeting the needs and expectations of the

Absolutely! The Iron Triangle of project management, also known as the Triple Constraint, has been expanded to include other crucial aspects of project management that must be balanced along with scope, time, and cost. Here are a couple of common variations: * Project Management Diamond: This model adds "Quality"

Yes, there are tools for managing and tracking project risks! Just like you might use crayons, pencils, or markers to create beautiful drawings, project managers also use specific tools to help them manage risks. Here are a few: * Risk Register: This is a document where project managers list all the

Think about when you want to cross the street. You don't just run across, right? You look both ways to make sure no cars are coming. That's because there's a risk - something terrible that could happen - if you don't look

Time is crucial in project management for a few reasons. Schedules Think about school. You have certain times for different classes. Math might be at 10 a.m., and English at 11 a.m. If math class started late, it would make English class start late too, which could mess

'Cost' is the amount of money that you need to spend to do something. Let's think about our Lego castle. When we talk about the 'cost' of the Lego castle, we would think about the following: 1. How much money do we need to

When talking about 'scope' in project management, we're talking about what exactly needs to be done to finish the project. It's a list of all the work, tasks, or things that need to happen. Let's go back to our Lego castle example.

The "Iron Triangle" is a concept in project management. It's called a triangle because it has three sides, right? In project management, these three sides represent three essential things: cost, time, and scope. Let's understand these. 1. Cost: Just like when you want to
