In this course you will learn:
-
The objective of this course is to develop your understanding
of managing technical projects. This course gives you practical knowledge and understanding of the skills and approaches used to manage small, medium, and large-scale projects.
The success of a Project Manager depends on his or her ability to harness the power of information technology, leverage human capital, seek continuous education, and apply self-discipline. The work and activities that go on “behind the scenes” are hard and complex, and self-discipline is required to do those things that are not fun and easy. Project managers need to know how to manage requirements, cost, schedule, budget, customers, facilitate all stakeholders, and deliver the system. A system can be a product or service.
-
Upon completion of this course, you will be able to:
•Understand the importance of PMP concepts for the Exam and project management certification.
•Describe the project management process groups. Create Project Management Process Groups.
Understand the importance of Requirements Management. How to manage requirements using milestone reviews. This is the key to success.
•Describe the process of Need Statement and SOW. How to write the Statement of Work.
•Understand the importance of project scope management and how to manage requirements creep.
•Understand the importance of project schedule, costs/cost centers, budgets and profitability.
Understanding Cost and Profitability - Every project must be capitalized with sufficient funding through completion. The people putting together cost and schedule/time data must fundamentally understand the project.•Describe human capital management and remote work.
•Understand the importance of project quality management and how to use reviews to manage schedule.
•Understand project communications management and stakeholder visibility.
•Understand risk management and techniques to manage risk; program risks and engineering and design risks. How to create risk charts.
- How to implement a project and be successful. Which approach is appropriate: V-Model, Model-based Systems Engineering, Agile, or Hybrid. You will learn which approaches I like most and successful at executing projects. We are talking proven processes to develop complex systems.
- The most important documents that you need to get the project implemented. You will receive templates for implementation.
- How to execute project with a structured approach that enables you to easily see cost, schedule, and risks and when to “raise the flag” with the PMO and your team.
- The best approach is to have milestone reviews and give stakeholders visibility into the project at those reviews so they will have a voice, approve, and enjoy what you and your team are producing.
Ask yourself these questions to help you see issues and need for clarification.
- 12 questions on Planning
- 12 question on Design
- 12 questions on Integration
- 12 question for Test
- 12 questions for Verification
- Examine the Basis of Estimate (BOEs) that were used to win the project and make sure that
- each discipline has the necessary requirements and labor to execute the Statement of Work.
- Create a Budgeting Tool if you don’t already have one.
How to Successfully Start Your Next Project and Avoid Cost Overruns and Late Deliveries
According to Chief Information Officers (CIO.com) and IT Leaders, one of the most important skills a project manager can have is to know how to execute and stay within budget and on schedule. This means that the project manager must have a process or approach that leads down a known and successful path. Every project is different. Therefore, the process must be tailored. So, what is required to stay within budget and on schedule? You just cannot expect to deliver a product or service to a customer that is within budget and on schedule and not have a good process, requirements, and planning. You must spend some time studying and understanding specific elements of existing data before the start of the project or as soon as you are notified that you are the Project Manager. Existing data includes the Statement of Work, Project Requirements, allocation of project Human Resources, Milestone Reviews, and Test Verification. (This will help you avoid failure.) Anything less than this, you are fooling yourself, and will experience much difficulty in trying to stay within budget, on schedule, and deliver the project to your customer. In essence, tailor your process so you don’t flounder around, spin your wheels, and waste time and money. So, what are other things you can do to ensure your success? Read the Proposal or Contract and other important documents that were used to win the job. If the core project requirements have not been created, then as the project manager, you need to find your Systems Engineer or Business Analyst and ask him/her to create the set of requirements for your project, using the documents that were submitted to win the contract. This is absolutely necessary.
Read other project and stakeholder documents. Find out what the real budget is for the project. A contract dollar value may be in the proposal; however, I would not trust this number because a percentage of that money could be allocated to profit, or the budget renegotiated. After a review of the requirements, I would break the project up into phases: administrative, configuration, preliminary design, critical design, integration, test, certification, and delivery. I would then put together a schedule if a schedule does not already exist. I would look at how many people or labor categories and subcontractors are required to execute the project, and assign a dollar value to each block of labor for each phase of the project.
Starting out, you need to know what approach you must take to make the project a success and not waste money. You need to know what must be negotiated and what is easy to accomplish without meetings and negotiations. This Project Manager Blueprint course includes multiple sessions on how to breakdown a project so you can see and understand the level of work that must be performed by you and your team. This work breakdown is essential for your success. Create a Work Breakdown Structure if you have not already done so.
The benefits of this level of planning and analysis will prevent failures and eliminate the need to lie about project readiness. This process puts reality “front and center” and you don’t need anyone telling you whether the project is ready to be executed or not. You’ll know for yourself and have a significant amount of data and confidence from the start.

Learn How to Own the Project.
Demonstrate This to Your Customer and See How They Will Develop Full Confidence in You. You will know when this has happened by the way your customer approaches you and your team.
Contrary to what you may think, you Do Not own the project until you demonstrate that you own the requirements–all of them. Think about it for a minute. It is impossible to control budget, schedule, and implementation unless you know where and how your requirements are organized, allocated, and how they will be tested. More than anything, your customer wants to know that you understand what they want you to do and what you must produce to satisfy what they have paid you or your company to do.
Understand the benefit of owning all top-level requirements across the project or program. Become the leader and spokesperson for the project. As the Lead Systems Engineer with Project Management under your belt, you are responsible for technical compliance of the project requirements and overseeing how each requirements will be implemented to achieve the solution.
Take ownership of the project and all requirements, and flow down or moved the requirements through your development process. Account for all requirements–customer provided, derived, subcontractor requirements, and orphan requirements. I highly recommend that you use a database such as DOORS–get something, even Excel–to help manage your requirements and give your customer visibility into the program.
As the Project Manager, understand what are the risks, type of risks, and what effects they have on the project, both qualitative and quantitative. Create a Risk Matrix and Risk Management Plan. Manage all risks and requirements that could potentially affect budget, schedule, and performance. Create reports for Technical Performance Measurement and Key Performance Parameters.
Depending upon the size and scope of your project, you may need another Systems Engineer to support Project Requirements Compliance Matrix, Traceability Matrixes, Baseline Specifications, Design Specifications, Subsystem Specifications, Interface Control Documents, Hardware and Software Integration Specifications, support development of vendor or subcontractor specifications where necessary, Product Audits, Test Plans, Test Verification, and product or system deliveries.
Instructor Led Training
Learn How to Create the Process Necessary for You to be Successful. If you have a $7,000,000 project, then you need a process that will facilitate a $7,000,000 project. If you have a $350,000,000 project, then you need a process that will facilitate a $350,000,000.
There is a huge need for training that includes end-to-end structure from stakeholder relationships to test and delivery. The Project Manager Blueprint provides you with high-value training and education that you can trust and help you to deliver the desired results of you customers.
The Project Manager Blueprint gives you a process or system that allows both simplicity and complexity whereby you can create the desired output and deliver the product on time, within budget, and to specified performance requirements. This blueprint is flexible enough to handle a $5,000,000, $100,000,000, or $5000,000,000 projects.
Project managers must be determined to execute based on requirements, and move requirements through their build or implementation process, and modify the process when appropriate based on the size and scope of their project. One of the primary reasons why projects fail or have cost overruns is because of the lack of visibility into what must happen at the start of the project and along each phase of implementation. You just cannot get in a big hurry to get done and give the perception that the project can be complete before end of “X” date or some superficial invalid timeframe.
When managing people, you must have a process. When managing projects, you must have a process. It is possible to execute a $10,000,000 project without process; yet, it will be in an ad-hoc and chaotic manner. I highly recommend a process driven by requirements and customer needs, especially when you need to control cost, schedule, and performance.

The Project Manager Blueprint teaches Project Management consistent with the Project Management Institute’s, Technical Project Management, Strategic and Business Management, and Leadership.
What I want to emphasize is that if you want to execute and deliver a $3,000,000, $10,000,000, $50,000,000, or a $500,000,000 project, you need process implementation and a certain approach to managing all the requirements and customer expectations that you will encounter. You must know how you will move your requirements through your development or implementation process so you can integrate and test.
The Project Manager Blueprint offers “tailor-made” project training that meets the challenges that many Chief Information Officers, Engineering Managers, Entrepreneurs, and IT Leaders face on a daily basis. Our training consists of understanding the customer’s needs, creating the solution , integrating and testing the product or service, and delivering it to the customer. We lay out the details what you need to know to get your project done.
Once you understand what absolutely must get accomplished, and you do not have the proper budget and the schedule, you must go back and ask for more money and time. This is small scale negotiations because you have the evidence of what it takes to successfully execute the project. In my course, you will receive the details on what it take to be successful. There is nothing wrong with going back and asking for more time and or money, especially after you have performed a proper analysis of the project and you have the data.
We teach what we know will enables success, and that is what you must know to execute and delivery projects. You must understand the entire process, end-to-end, and put it into practice. Our project management and systems engineering processes are aligned with industry standards, guidelines, and practices, and organizations such as the Project Management Institute (PMI) and the International Council on Systems Engineering. What we teach is used by small, medium, and large organizations worldwide.
The training that you will receive is taught by Jimmy Harris. Jimmy has over 27 years experience in Project Management, Systems Engineering, and System Safety Engineering. He has worked for NASA, Boeing, BAE Systems,
DRS Technology, Lockheed Martin, and telecommunications and engineering companies. The course will be structured and tailored to the needs of the participants. You will have all the PDUs you ever wanted.
I will give you documents, templates, webinars, audio files, how to information, spreadsheets, calculators, ratios, my phone number, email address, and most important, you will have me and my time.
This is the best value your money can buy and I know what I’m talking about in all the courses that I teach.
Project Management and Systems Engineering courses are designed for entrepreneurs, consultants, IT professionals, managers, PMPs, directors, engineers, and college students. This course is not like most high-level training that last to three or five days and cost a fortune. How much do you think you can learn in three days, given all the breaks, and the instructor packing up at 5 PM to go home? This training is different. I realized that to learn how to execute and deliver projects, it takes time, and this is a lot of high-value information and in-demand skill training that you want to learn.
Sign up for this training because it is what entrepreneurs, managers, and CIOs want from leaders. What they want is your ability to execute and deliver, on time and within budget. This means that you have a responsibility for profits and losses.
In this instructor-led training, you will be taught how to produce and deliver a specific product or service output based on requirements, budget, schedule, and verification of requirements. You will receive industry related training in project execution and delivery that you can apply on your next project.
