    What fantastic videos Mike! I'm about to complete my Dip PM and have spent months watching many painful videos of Project Management. Today, I came across yours and find it easier to make sense of understanding PM. You speak slower than the others and give me time to take in the information. Also by breaking down the topics into small chunks it is certainly easier to digest. Well done!

    Hey there! Can you expand on the scope exclusions and or have any examples of how to find out what those are?

    • @Onlinepmcourses
      @Onlinepmcourses  4 года назад +4

      Good question...
      Exclusions are usually the things you could do as part of the project, but that are neither of sufficient value to merit the priority, or can be put off to another time/project, or are being handled in a different way.
      It's impossible to give good examples because every situation is different. But as an illustration,:
      Say my project is to organize a conference. I may agree with my sponsor/client that I am not responsible for follow-up - that would be an exclusion. I may not be responsible for selecting attendees - another potential exclusion.
      My client may take complete control of the content of the keynote from their CEO - I'd treat that as an exclusion and merely schedule a slot and arrange the AV.
      But, of course, in each of these examples, an equally logical approach would be to include them in my project. It's all situational. That's why regard scoping as the single hardest part of Project Management

    working in software in a nutshell
    they keep moving the goalposts on you and the project drags on for months(or years), possibly even never gets done and is mothballed indefinitely

    • @Onlinepmcourses
      @Onlinepmcourses  4 года назад +3

      Three things -
      1. This is why Agile approaches are increasingly used in software projects. It allows for changes in functional specs and priorities as the project progresses
      2. If the whole project goal is being shifted - that's not scope creep - it's a re-casting of the project and therefore needs stronger governance
      3. If the project is no longer viable, then it SHOULD be mothballed have a video coming out on 9 July about this: What is Sunk Cost? ...and the Sunk Cost Fallacy? ruclips.net/video/PubhWnVYkDE/видео.html

    i think the line which repent the depletion of resources yellow line should be under the completion curve at the beginning of project there is no depletion of resources at all

    • @Onlinepmcourses
      @Onlinepmcourses  7 месяцев назад +1

      If you look at the axis label I apply (in orange) when I add the depletion curve, I am plotting resources remaining - which deplete from 100% at the start to zero remaining resources at the end. I am not measuring the depletion level, ut illustrating the depletion of the total.

      Hi - adding extra projects is not scope creep - that is about portfolio creep and is a failure in corporate governance.

    Once you go above your scope, you are loosing resources quickly
