Section Introduction Transcripts
Welcome
Hello and welcome. My name is Terri Wagner, Owner and President of Mentor Source, Inc. I received my Project Management Professional credential, or PMP, in 2001 after many years of running projects, programs, and portfolios. Capturing and integrating lessons learned from previous projects is one of the toughest challenges organizations have in learning from their past projects and making improvements to their own project practices from those experiences. It's a gift when we can learn from other people's experiences and add some new or better practices to our own way of managing projects. This course will take a quick peek at projects I have worked on, as well as some projects from around the world, to glean some lessons we can learn from these brief examples. So let's get started by revisiting a classic concept, the triple constraints.
