The aim of www.PMGuruOnline.com is to create a virtual environment conducive to user friendly learning and
acquiring of project management knowledge with minimum difficulty and stress.
Knowledge acquisition is best when mind is free of anxiety and pressures.
To get maximum benefits to learn and enhance your conceptual
framework of project management principles we suggest you follow the steps
outlined below: |
|
|
|
Start Up:
Test your current knowledge |
Before beginning the training you may like to see where you currently stand in
regard to your project management knowledge base. Take our PMKQ™ (PM Knowledge
Quotient) test which comprises of 16 questions. |
|
Step 1: e-Learning |
We suggest you begin the course by first
going through the e-Learning section which contains different project
management concepts.
After going through each concept, you should then 'Test Your Understanding' of
the concept by appearing in a set of multiple choice Q & A's given after
each concept. Each question has 4 options with 1 right answer. You should be
able to answer the questions correctly if you have grasped the concept
properly. Please do revisit the concept until you are satisfied with your
progress.
Note:- You must complete
alteast 60% of the e-Learning section to be eligible to attempt the site Test. |
|
Step 2:
ReInforcement
of knowledge through Discrete Learning (RIDL) (Flash Cards)
|
This module contains over 500 statements divided
based on the 8 project life cycle phases for CCPM. These project life cycle
phases are; Conceptualize, Plan, Organize, Implement, Control, Integrate,
Deliver & Closeout and Knowledge Leverage.
RIDL comprises of factual statements/questions along with the correct answers
and extensively covers all the 8 phases of the project life cycle. This will
help you to grasp the essence of PM and ensures that your understanding of all
the phases is very strong. At the end of each RIDL sub section there is a Q
& A's session to verify your understanding. In case you are not satisfied
with the results, you can revisit RIDL as many times as you wish to revise
again.
Note:- You must complete
100% of the 8 RIDL sub-sections in order to appear in site Mock Exam. |
|
Step 3:
QUestion & Answer with REasoning (QUARE) |
This section further challenges and validated your
understanding by asking you to answer objective questions under QUARE.
If your answer is not right, pmGURUonline.com will fully describe the reasons
why your answer is not right. This eliminates your need to refer to various
reference books and papers. In case you gave the right answer, you can still
check why the other options would have been wrong. This gives you an excellent
base to build up your foundation of PM concepts. |
|
Step 4 :
Mock Exam |
The site Mock Exam comprises of 30 objective questions covering all the 8 project
life cycle phases. This gives you a good idea about your knowledge and competence. To access the Mock Exam you must first complete at least 60% of the e-learning including the QeLearnimng Q&As and 100% of the RIDL section including the RIDL Q&As. You get three attempts to clear the Mock Test. |
|
Step 5:
Feedback Form. |
The last step is to fill-up the
Feedback Form.
The Feedback Form button will appear once you
complete and pass the Mock Exam. The feedback form must be correctly filled up
by you. Your name and your time usage as given in the feedback form will be
reflected in the certificate issued by www.pmGURUonline.com.
In case your time limit is over the feedback form is also available in the login page. |

CCPM content |
The CCPM content has been divided into the following 8 Project Life Cycle phases: Conceptualize,
Plan, Organize, Implement, Control, Integrate, Deliver & Closeout and
lastly Knowledge Leverage which runs across all the Life Cycle phases.
Each phase is sub-divided into 33 Knowledge
Domains and the knowledge domains are further broken
up into 117 Concepts which
form the basic building blocks of the learning programme. These Concepts cover
key aspects of a project and provide persons with the knowledge and skills to:
|
|
- Conceptualize – understand the project’s need, the different stakeholder’s requirements from
the project and developing the project’s business case (feasibility report).
- Plan - define the
total scope of work properly, plan the time, cost and scope, how to make
networks, critical path analysis, learn how to make more accurate estimates,
plan the project's quality and the communication requirements
- Organize – organize
how and who will do the work, external and internal interfaces, build effective
teams, identify the roles and responsibilities of different team members.
- Implement – execute
the work, resolve all issues that come up, procure the required goods and
services
- Control – monitor and
control the work to ensure it is progressing as planned, undertake quality
control, take required corrective actions, manage all changes efficiently,
motivate and empower the team, resolve conflicts and all issues, manage
information and reports.
- Integrate –
coordinate and integrate all the work done to deliver the final outputs, ensure
that it conforms to requirements
- Deliver & Closeout – complete and handover the work, close-out the contracts if any
