Plan a ten week launch
A project plan for the offline downloads launch: a one page charter, a work breakdown, a task table with three-point estimates, dependencies and the critical path, a RACI, your top five risks scored with mitigations, and your status update for the end of week 3.
About 125 minutes in total.
Two levels
Finish the units and the project and you get the Certificate of Completion. Pass the live skill challenge on Project Management at Practitioner level or above and it becomes a Verified Certificate, which anyone you send it to can check for themselves.
Questions
What does it cost?
Nothing while insiderOne is in beta.
Can an employer check it?
Yes. Every certificate has its own page, and the code printed on it resolves there without anyone needing an account.
Do I need any experience?
No. These are written for students and people in their first job, and they assume nothing.
What do I actually walk away with?
The certificate, and the piece of work you made for the project. That goes into your insiderOne profile as a proof item, private until you choose to show it.
Know someone studying this?
It is free while insiderOne is in beta, and the certificate is checkable by anyone they send it to.
