TEST Project activity without basic knowledge is similar to cleaning after an active holiday. Initially, it is scary about the amount of work to be done, then procrastination sets in against the background of complexity, and only the last couple of hours (after the deadline set for itself) is fruitful, although often under the motto “It will do so!”. Imagine that any new business can be started not with a panic “Where to get ideas ?!”, “Where to start?”, “How to do everything, this is a colossal job ..!”, dut with planned movements towards the desired result. To do this, you just need to have in the arsenal a set of tools and approaches that gives the course "Basics of project activities".
The course will be useful to a wide range of specialists. It doesn’t matter what you do - you write film scripts, do research, design buildings, develop applications or modernize production. After completing the course, it will be easier for you not only to solve professional tasks, but also not to be afraid to implement new abstract ideas, since concrete steps to implement them will be clear.
Starting with a general idea of what a project activity is, the course will gradually give you the step-by-step guide and answers to often intuitively unclear questions:
Meanwhile, the course is not about project management, but about the project approach; It gives only a general idea of the existing standards in the field of project management. You can delve into their study after obtaining practical experience in applying the fundamentals of project activities, because knowledge in itself, for example, of popular flexible methodologies does not guarantee success.
To increase the effectiveness of learning materials, we recommend to choose a simple project before starting the course: something close to you from everyday life or professional activity (arrangement of bicycle parking, website development, etc.). During passing of a course use the considered tools to the chosen project. You can share your results on the forum and get feedback from curators and course instructors.
General education course does not demand special preparation and is designed for wide audience of students.
