WEEK 1
¿Cómo y por qué inicia un proyecto?
¿Por qué iniciamos un proyecto? ¿cómo debemos iniciarlo? ¿es importante planearlo? ¿qué hacemos cuando ya lo estamos desarrollando? ¿por qué hay personas que se desarrollan profesionalmente en la gestión de proyectos?
En este primer curso podrás comprender la naturaleza de los proyectos y la manera como debes gestionarlos de principio a fin.

WEEK 2
¿Por qué es importante planear?
Es común que cuando iniciamos un proyecto, queramos comenzar inmediatamente con su ejecución, ¿verdad? La emoción por el resultado y la urgencia por realizar el proyecto cuanto antes nos atrapa y, en ocasiones, saltamos a la acción sin habernos dado el tiempo de pensar en todo lo que el proyecto requiere para completarse exitosamente, a todos nos ha pasado. Solo que es algo así como armar el barco mientras vamos nadando, ¿qué puede salir mal? ¡Todo!
La planeación te ayudará a preparar, prever, organizar, programar y estimar todo lo necesario para obtener el resultado esperado exitosamente. Con algunas guías básicas, podrás elaborar los planes para tus proyectos que te encaminen a mejorar tus resultados. En esta sección, conocerás los elementos y las herramientas básicas para la planeación de tus proyectos que podrás aplicar inmediatamente.

WEEK 3
¿Cómo coordinar un proyecto?
El éxito de los proyectos depende de la capacidad del equipo de trabajo para completar las tareas en forma efectiva y eficiente, así como de las habilidades del líder del equipo para guiarlo apropiadamente.
Presentaremos las ideas básicas sobre los conocimientos y las habilidades que el líder de un proyecto debe dominar para obtener resultados exitosos en un proyecto. En este tercer tema, conoceremos algunas técnicas para dar seguimiento al avance del proyecto y hacer ajustes en forma oportuna.

WEEK 4
¿Cuáles son los beneficios de ser un profesional de la administración de proyectos?
El mundo de la gestión profesional de proyectos, hoy por hoy, marca una diferencia en la evolución de las organizaciones y cada vez más, se demandarán profesionales en la disciplina. ¿Quieres ser uno de ellos?
En este último tema conocerás sobre la institución líder a nivel mundial en temas de gestión de proyectos, sus estándares y certificaciones con reconocimiento internacional y los beneficios que ofrece para ti y para tu organización. También comprenderás en qué consisten las certificaciones profesionales y sus requisitos para reconocer el valor y los beneficios que ofrecen gracias a los altos estándares de calidad que el instituto ha cuidado y perfeccionado a través de los años.

Welcome to Graphic Design, the second course in the Effective Communications Specialization. Over 70 different companies have provided this specialization to their employees as a resource for internal professional development. Why? Because employers know that effective visual communication is the key to attracting an audience, building a relationship, and closing the sale. "This course is fantastic. It teaches a great amount of starter graphic design information but it is broken down into easily understood videos and quizzes. The quality was top notch and the interaction was as good as you would get in a brick and mortar school. I did not feel like I was missing anything by taking it online." - a recent Graphic Design student.
