Course Description:
Type: self-paced, online Access Time: 365 days from enrollment
Description:&nbsp;&nbsp;In many organizations, risk and uncertainty are seen as threats that must be planned for, controlled, and (if possible) eliminated entirely. But, are risk and uncertainty inherently bad? Couldn&#8217;t they be opportunities to reimagine things and create a powerful new approach? This self-paced, fully online course will help you view risk and uncertainty as a possibility instead of a danger. You&#8217;ll see uncertainty as a way to examine and improve on existing conditions, opening up new possibilities or pathways that will help you achieve your goals. And for those risks that truly are threats, you&#8217;ll develop a risk mitigation approach that will help you address problems and potentially uncover skills and abilities you can transfer to other areas of work to improve outcomes and results.
Learning Objectives:&nbsp;
<ol>
<li>Define risk and uncertainty in the context of project management</li>
<li>Embrace uncertainty and view change as an opportunity</li>
<li>Establish a basic risk management process and describe specific risk reduction strategies</li>
<li>Create a risk management framework to help identify, categorize, manage, and document project risks</li>
<li>Recognize how the potential impact of risk can increase or decrease over a project&#8217;s life cycle</li>
<li>Assess and describe a stakeholder&#8217;s risk appetite and/or risk tolerance</li>
<li>Distinguish between positive and negative risks and employ strategies for handling each type</li>
<li>Apply adaptive risk management decision-making strategies</li>
<li>Describe the importance of contingency plans and determine potential fallback strategies</li>

While there are many advantages to remote work for both the company and the individual, managers must be aware of the challenges that can arise when employing remote workers. This course explores the benefits and drawbacks of remote work and provides managers with tips for helping their remote workers stay connected and motivated.

 Learning Objectives :

<ol>
<li> Identify the reasons why people choose to work remotely </li>
<li> Examine current attitudes toward remote work </li>

Description:&nbsp;Leaders are people who can change the thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors of the people around them. Successful organizations must have leaders who take them in the right direction. While not all leaders are managers or even occupy positions of authority, managers are often leaders for the employees who report to them. While companies with more women in leadership positions tend to see benefits to their bottom line, gender stereotypes and biases can make it difficult for women to become recognized as leaders and to advance into managerial or executive positions at work. This course reviews various qualities of leaders and styles of leadership and management. It also reviews common managerial challenges and introduces techniques, strategies, and best practices to overcome those obstacles. 
&nbsp;
Learning Objectives:&nbsp;
<ol>
<li>Identify common leadership bases, skills, and qualities</li>
<li>Describe the major theories of leadership</li>
<li>Discuss types of leadership and their advantages and disadvantages</li>
<li>Differentiate between leadership, management, and administration</li>
<li>Recognize the role of leadership in setting the ethical tone for an organization</li>
<li>Describe how managers must effectively lead people—subordinates, peers, and superiors—to achieve goals</li>
<li>Describe the major organizational structures and the differences between them</li>
<li>Discuss the role of emotional intelligence in management</li>
<li>Identify common challenges for women who are in, or looking to be in, positions of management</li>
<li>Understand common challenges for new managers and strategies for handling them</li>

Description: This intermediate-level course is designed to help Agile practitioners recognize and resolve many of the common issues that emerge when Agile concepts are introduced into Waterfall organizations. The course begins with 24 video segments from seasoned Agile trainers and practitioners who provide tips and best practices for addressing integration obstacles. The course then presents 20 short case studies that simulate the communication and interchanges that can occur as Agile and Waterfall practitioners work to resolve differences in the ways that they see and execute tasks. As students evaluate these case studies, they&#8217;ll learn to deconstruct and diagnose any underlying problems that need to be resolved, just as they would in everyday practice. While they work to decode and correct these issues, they&#8217;ll begin to recognize the common pitfalls that can happen as project teams collaborate and interact.

Learning Objectives:

<ol>
<li>Identify whether Agile concepts and methodologies could be integrated into an existing organization</li>
<li>Describe tools and techniques that could assist in Agile integration</li>
<li>Recognize the problems that Agile and Waterfall collaborators contend with on a regular basis</li>
<li>Apply practical tips from experienced practitioners to correct these problems</li>
<li>Recognize the advantage of &#8220;failing fast&#8221;</li>
<li>Uncover impediments or obstacles that may occur when running Agile and Waterfall in parallel</li>
<li>Examine several project artifacts that can be used to show progress during transitional states</li>
<li>Identify the essential elements of an integration framework</li>

Course Description:
Type: self-paced, online &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Access Time: 365 days from enrollment

Description: This intermediate-level course is designed to help Agile practitioners decipher and solve the problems that arise regularly in their work. The course begins with 16 video segments from seasoned Agile trainers and practitioners who provide tips and best practices for addressing Agile team challenges. The course then presents 20 short case studies that test the student&#8217;s understanding of Agile practices and provide guidance for resolving common problems. The case studies are structured to simulate the conversations and interactions that happen regularly on Agile projects; seeing these disputes as narratives will help students learn to deconstruct issues and diagnose the underlying problems that need to be corrected, just as they would in their everyday work. As students decode these disputes and plan appropriate responses, they&#8217;ll gain the experience they need to guide their teams and to put them back on track to deliver value to their customers.

Learning Objectives:

<ol>
<li>Identify the underlying issues that lead to common problems for Agile teams</li>
<li>Help team members recognize when their behaviors are inhibiting team development</li>
<li>Describe ways to keep an Agile team focused on delivering value</li>
<li>Uncover additional stakeholders and project participants to enhance project feedback</li>
<li>Give examples of the &#8220;must have&#8221; skills that product owners should possess</li>
<li>Reorganize daily stand-ups to improve their performance</li>
<li>Summarize options for overcoming velocity estimation mistakes</li>
<li>Outline effective rewards and acknowledgments that promote team cohesion and interaction</li>

Course Description:
Type: self-paced, online Access Time: 365 days from enrollment
Description:&nbsp;Nearly half of all working adults are women, and women now make up the majority of students pursuing undergraduate and graduate degrees. Despite these indications that they have the skills and education to be leaders in the workforce, women are still underrepresented in many areas, and the persistent wage gap demonstrates that their work is often undervalued. This certificate explores both the social and psychological mechanisms that create challenges that professional women often face. Alongside commentary from women leaders, the material also provides concrete and data-driven recommendations for advancing in your career. The courses in the certificate introduce key concepts and practices that all successful business people should be familiar with, thereby serving as a general introduction to topics like leadership, management, communication, work-life balance, networking, negotiation, and body language.
