The Basics of Good Project Management
This lecture is brought to you by the CalSouthern School of Business (www.calsouthern.edu/business) in partnership with the Project Management Institute’s Orange County chapter (www.pmi-oc.org/).
Presenter: Greta Blash

Project management is a discipline that is in great and ever-increasing demand-across all industries and at business organizations of all sizes. It is so ubiquitous now that it has evolved from a specialized technical skill to a life skill.
Despite its wide proliferation, there remain key concepts that apply to all projects, regardless of size or budget. In this lecture, Greta Blash will outline these key principles to help attendees understand what is involved in successfully managing a project, from initiating and planning, to monitoring and controlling the effort, and, ultimately, to the final completion of the project.
This lecture will be a special presentation of CalSouthern’s Master Lecture Series brought to you in partnership with The Project Management Institute’s Orange County chapter.

It's amazing that she said her weakness was procrastination which is one of the worse traits to have as a PM. But she still somehow became very successful. This goes to show that even those people who have weaknesses or traits that they think do not qualify as being a PM can be very successful regardless.
Great comparison of tough project with basic things we do.What ever thing we do and need to finish it in certain time is PROJECT. Thank you realizing real life project management.
She is an SME. Made Project management easy to understand
This is one of the nice academic videos I ever watched. Thank you for uploading this to us.
I am sober. And now, I can do EXACT THINGS THAT MATTER IN MY ENTIRE CAREER IN AMERICA.
I have an exam in 3 days and this lady made me more comfortable and better prepared for it. Thank you so much.
Really enjoyed this. Very clear. Can you believe how valuable PM skill sets are in every business sector, and at home, right? Thanks for breaking it down for everyone here.
Being a college student taking a PM class in IT this was very informative and interesting. It made me aware of the basic points and what to research further. Very well done.

SoCal School of Business, thanks for filming, saving and posting what has to be among the most insightful project management conceptual presentations in the world. Greta Blash really breaks these project management concepts down to a common lame person interpretational style so that just anyone who is seriously considering starting or presenting the grounds for starting a project has an assortment of beginning, mid-term, near end-term, and final term phases of how to keep the project operating with a end goal in mind.
Excellent coverage and summary of complicated information. Thank you!

Very well presented, using plain English. Excellent course
If you live in a enlarge boxed like a 1 bedroom unit and do not venture out of it too often you might start thinking that you have all the answer about the do's and don'ts of a project that you conceive on your own while in there, but of course, listening to this Cal-Southern School of Business lecture given by Greta Blash puts a different spin on that whole idea. She meticulously and single handily goes thru a series of successive steps explaining pitfalls, what is needed, and communication standards that have to practiced in order to get a project started and operating. She even doses her presentations with personal facts and figures, and experiences from working on projects assignments to illustrate circumstances and situations a project manager needs to weave together to keep a project alive and breathing.
I really appreciate it. As a student, I finally could understand it. Thank you so much!
This was an excellent refresher for me. Thank you!
Wonderful!!! Very nicely presented.
As I am preparing for the exam, her video helps enforce the gaps in my knowledge.

Wow! This is a nice presentation. Thanks a lot for sharing this!
By far the best resource on the youtube. I am just staring my PMP journey and I was looking for something like this to grasp the content. Needless to say that most of other courses available are taught in a boring style and fail to give the feel about the subject. So, we need to memorize it all to appear in the exam. Not sure why it is not taught using case study method. Could have been much easier that way!!

Using a case study method could indeed enhance understanding and retention of the material. While some courses may focus on memorization, seeking resources that engage learners with real-world examples can facilitate a deeper understanding of project management concepts. Wishing you success on your PMP exam preparation!
Thank you for this presentation . I would like to add very important note , that , Project Manager must be study a course in psychological sciences , this will help him to understanding his team and others more than 80% , I do it and it was change a lot of things during lead the team as PM. I highly recommended for this course to the PMs . Good Luck.
