About

This capstone project course will give you the chance to practice the work that project managers do in real life when managing projects. You will assume the role of a project manager and gain hands-on experience managing a project from start to finish. You will plan, execute, and close the project. By the end, you will have many artifacts that will showcase both your knowledge of predictive and adaptive methodologies, which can then be added to your portfolio to show employers. As part of this course, you will produce common project deliverables. Artifacts you will create using a predictive methodology include a work breakdown structure, network diagram, budget, quality and communications management plans, and a risk register. Artifacts that showcase your adaptive methodology skills include user stories, examples of product and sprint backlogs, and a burndown chart analysis. You will also produce a project status report, a change form, and a closeout report. This capstone course is a great way to build out your project management portfolio and showcase your skills to prospective employers.
