@17-915 ,the idea of implementing the RACI Matrix will surely boost your efficiency.Congratulations and good luck to you.
I'll be implementing a spinoff of the RACI matrix (DARCI) in managing future projects!
Best of luck!
@Tamika_Davis ,congratulations to you.Implementing new knowledge & ideologies in your work or business will greatly boost your productivity.Congratulations & good luck to you.
Best of luck to you..
I will start using RACI Matrix in assigning roles to different people in the project.
Good luck, Tamika_Davis.
@aondubi ,using the RACI matrix to assign roles to different people in your upcoming/ongoing projects is a brilliant idea.Congratulations and good luck to you.
In the next few weeks I will start using project charters, stakeholder analysis matrices, this training has immensely opened my mind
what i worried about during the first 3 modules, module 4 solve it all. Great course and good luck for the rest.
The course has been very informative and providing tools and template that one can use or adapt in a new project. We sometimes downplay the importance of finalising the project charter thereby allowing all project stakeholders to sign-off on the deliverables that will tone their expectations and enhance the support for project setup, planning and implementation.
In the next few months, i will employ these tools to manage the project. The course has been informative.
What a success, I will be a wonderful project director because I will be using program tools for my effective work.
it was been such a great experience, i must admit that module 4 , implementation has been an eye opener to me in terms of managing people, managing issues and its a sure thing to use all the skills learnt in all the upcoming projects. thanks to Philanthropy University, am now a great project manager
Great module
Great module
In the next few months I will advise my current organization to start using project charters, start using stakeholder analysis matrices, risk analysis RACI and other best practices that i have learned
I will use the RACI MATRIX for easy identification on who will perform each activity. I will also use a risk register and an issue log to identify and track risks at the same time allow project team to report the issues respectively. The Gantt chart and the WBS will really help me in planning the schedule.
I really enjoyed taking this course.It will help me with my project work.
A nice topic
good topic
In the next few months, I'll try to apply what I have learned from this course especially in using RACI Matrix.
I have learned so much on this course, I will start using the RACI matrix as well as budget template for projects.
I will try to use the RACI Matrix in the next project. I see it as a tool that can foster better engagement among project team members. It also ensures that a project manager, you need to get the buy-in of everyone on the project to achieve the project goals.
After learning several tools of project management, in the next few months I will start using WBS and RACI Matrix in our project. This has caught much of my attention, since these tools were not used in my Organization
I will apply project charter, stakeholder analysis and RACI in my project.
Good luck in your project!
In this course I have learned all processes inside project management, starting for approaches and tools to use in the real life including different models to do the activities. From now I am going to put it on my own project and I am sure that it will bring to me better results. What I most wanted have done with success why? Because now I am able to identify the scope of my project, to create a project governance structure, schedule project activities, to create project budget, to prepare for upcoming risks, keep stakeholders satisfied, manage team members and document learning. I have appreciated everything in that course, I wish you all do the same, good luck for everyone. Best greetings from Edna Sofia Filipe Matsinhe.
This unit has been very successful, I commit to start using a WBS and Gannt charter to always track the progress of my project and stay within the schedule, scope and budget.
This course is an eyes opening to project management and I have learnt a lot of management tools that I will find useful latter in my work. Tools like RACI is a very useful tool I learnt and will use. Thanks for this wonderful course and congratulations to us all that made it to the end of the course.
I will definitely have to use the project charter in my next project endeavors.
I have learned so much with this course, thank you!
I wish you all the best!
In the next few months I will use lesson learnt from here to set up a catering services business.
Congratulations, I wish you all the best!!
@Here, I wish to express our sincere gratitude to you all for staying to complete the course. We wish you well in your collective endeavors.
I am so happy to have completed the course too. THIS WILL B EVERY HELPFUL
Thank you so much. Looking forward to practicing the skills acquired
Good call
Congratulations, I wish you all the best!!
Me too!!
So true!!
Am glad I finally completed my learning!! It's been awesome. Rana is a champ!! Weldon ma'am.
in the next few months I will start using project charters and Gantt charts for all my upcoming projects
@JosephMulongelwa, all the best in your endeavor. And thank you for staying to complete the course.
@onadejimotunrayo, thank you for staying to complete the course successfully. We hope you would apply the knowledge you acquired from the course.
Yes I will!! Thank you too.
n the next few months I will try to use project charter, so it will be easier for all stakeholders to understand our works
I've always worked as a Financial Manager, close to the numbers, analysing budgets and expenditures. I wanted to start working within the whole project and this course has been a great start! I am ready to implement all the knowledge acquired and continue my training.
Thank you very much for giving us all the opportunity to learn! All the best for every other learner beggining this journey
@onadejimotunrayo Thanks
it is very effective what you plan to do. it will allow you to conduct your project well and bring it to the success of the objectives
@Natalia-Surraco, you are most welcome, and thank you for staying to complete the course. We are glad you are willing to impart the knowledge acquired from the program.
@Masco20, your response can effectively be equated to the essence of the course. Thank you for staying to complete the latter successfully.
In the next few months, I will start using the work breakdown structure. This is because the WBS organizes the team's work into manageable sections. In addition, I will use the RACI Matrix. This matrix clarifies roles and eliminates confusion; keeps projects on track and ensures nothing falls through the cracks; ensures smooth transitions and handoffs when there is turnover; and, prioritizes communication between teams and stakeholders.
Dear All,
Thank you for staying to complete the course successfully. We hope you do well to share the knowledge acquired from the course.
I will start making use of the Gantt charts, i will properly assess my risks, and properly manage my stakeholders.
wishing you the very best.
I have learnt many a new things from this module. Its a great course to enhance and sharpen one's skills.
learned a lot in this module
I will start using all the knowledge and tools , because i want to start a new project.

Hi everyone, I'm Okoh Nelson, a public health practitioner, it's great being here.
In the next few months, I will be using the risk register, issues log and stakeholder Analysis Framework.
With the right amount of planning, implementing and monitoring you have the opportunity to complete a project on time, on budget and with high quality results, instead of ending up with a project that doesn’t fully meet all the KPIs (key performance indicators).
There are so many reasons why a project might fail – setting up unrealistic expectations, poor methodology and requirements, inadequate resources, poor project management, untrained team members and so on. However, these things can be avoided by adopting effective practices and project management techniques which will help to establish a clear understanding of expectations and processes among all the people on board.
We gathered and listed 5 best practices for project implementation, outlining the major phases of managing and discussing the key steps for each one.
Start with a clear project scope Some people (myself included) can get pretty excited when working on a new project and can get carried away with the ideas flow. Although we as a company believe in adapting plans as we go, starting a project without a clear vision can lead to unexpected difficulties. You and your team should invest your time in gathering information, assigning tasks to specific people and having a good overview of your resources. The end result should be a well-rounded project plan with a clear scope, steps, implementation process and a well-defined target. The project scope is the primary deliverable from the planning process and it describes all the aspects of the project. Put everything on a timeline.Prepare to keep planning
As I said above, changes happen all the time. However, you can always have a basic plan for managing these changes. You have to set some expectations on how the team should manage unexpected issues, scope change, risks, quality, communication and so on. Sometimes projects are smooth and easy to manage and sometimes they are a complete nightmare that wakes you up at 3 a.m. and give you bad flashbacks.
On some level, this project PTSD can be avoided by planning for blockers proactively and by ensuring that the project team has a common understanding of how to deal with issues if things go south.
Implement while keeping an eye on the metrics
Once the project has been planned accordingly to its scope and goals, the implementation phase can begin. In theory, since you have already agreed on your project scope and you have a basic backup plan if something doesn’t work, the only thing remaining is to implement your plan and processes efficiently. As a manager, there are a few things you should keep an eye on.
Check the project timeline on a regular basis in order to determine how your team is progressing.
Keep your timeline updated and make sure that you and your team are still focused on the plan. Determine whether the project will be completed within the original effort, cost, and duration estimates. If the situation has changed, you should determine the critical path for continuing and look for ways to accelerate the activities to get you back on track.
Monitor your resources. You should look at the amount of money and time your project has actually consumed and determine whether you have spent more than you have originally estimated, based on the work that has been completed. If so, be proactive, and take smart business decisions that could potentially make the project more effective.
It is also important to look for signs showing that the project may be in trouble. Some of them could be:
Team morale starts to decline.
Deliverable quality starts to deteriorate.
Lack of communication.
Keeping an eye on the quality.
Getting a project done on time and under budget is not enough. You need to make sure that you deliver a quality product on top of everything else. Quality means making sure that you build what you said you would and that you do it as efficiently as you can. And that means trying not to make too many mistakes and always keeping your project on track to deliver the expected results. Feedback is the cornerstone of most successful projects so don’t be afraid to ask your team or outsiders to give you their 2 cents on the project. Feedback truly is something we all need, no matter if we’re intrinsically or extrinsically motivated to do something. It shows us what we already did correctly and where we need to develop to become better and more successful in helping others and achieving our goals. Each project is different and some of these tips may not apply to you. Regardless of how you manage your team and what your implementation flow is, don’t be afraid to think outside the box and motivate your team while you go. Celebrate important milestones and take your team out for a drink from time to time. Do your best, don’t loose your focus and don’t forget to have fun while doing it!
Implementing project management practices is the most critical part, which should be done well. However, it depends on the prior stages of project design, and planning.
Thank you for this great opportunity to learn about project managers and how they plan and implement projects.
I will implement the use of budget and a number of other new knowledge in my day to day life and at work.
Thank you everyone.
How to Create a Project Implementation Approach

Map a Change Timeline.
Complex projects can get confusing quickly, so it’s important to lay out who’s doing what, preferably for each project task. That’s where a RACI chart comes in. This simple matrix enables you to assign the following roles and responsibilities:
Every project comes with risk. The trick is to get ahead of it so you can formulate a plan for mitigating it. A risk assessment matrix enables you to identify all the things that could go wrong and calculate the potential damage. That makes it easy to prioritize issues and take action where it’s needed most to keep your project on course.
I will be using RACI matrix and will develop soft and hard skills.
when I receive my grades
DID you received your grades?
In the next few months, I will be using the risk register, issues log and stakeholder Analysis Framework.
RACI is an important part of project for followup and monitoring of project implementation
This course has sharpen my knowledge in Project management and added applicable skills.
@samabidoye, thanks for the beautiful complement. We wish you well in your endeavor and hope you enroll unto other courses from the Philanthropy U website.
In a week's time, I hope to start on the project that I planned in my assignments on this course - that's developing a Social and Emotional Learning and Character Education syllabus and scheme of work for our Middle School.
I really want to thank the developers of this course. It was a great course and I learnt so much. It's amazing that a course like this is offered free of charge. Keep up the fantastic work!
I have a problem with uploading my Module 4 Assignment. The response I'm getting is "we could not upload this file". Please help what should I do
Me too I learnt a lot
I finished my first course on Fundamentals of Project Management yesterday but have not yet received my certificate. Can you please help me
in the next few months i will use gant charts, work breakdown schedule and RACI 4 in the project that i will design.
I´ve been doing project management for years, and I learned plenty of new tools from this course (I had only previously used gantt charts but without the full understanding of how to set up the tool). I have already recommended this course to a colleague and will be sharing with others. I only wish we had known about this sooner! I had felt like the only way to access this information was through an expensive masters degree. Thank you for putting together this easy to follow, professional learning tool! Good luck to all. Has anyone had feedback from potential employers- do they like this credential? Thanks!!
Project management is very important when you want to creat a project of a certain issue. You might need a project manager in order to help you in organizing, planning, analyzing and emphasizing.
I would like to Advice you that "To Implement the Project management first you should identifies the problem then simply setup your plan".
With the knowledge and skills of the project management, am sure of moving faster, on course and accurate in implement the knowledge. As the Project Manager for Media Agenda, am hopeful to manage the community radio as part of the project geared to implement the organisation's goal of promoting the access to information. Since information is key to community development the knowledge is vital to propel the project.
I will start using project charters.
