10 Project Management Terms You Should Know to Land a PM Job | Speak like a Project Manager

I landed my first Project Management role after my first interview.

During the interview with the CEO/Project Director, I remember vividly a question he asked: "What's a project's triple constraint?"

Few months ago, I studied Project Management terminologies and concepts! Jackpot.

Immediately, I responded: "scope, schedule, and cost!"

That was it! I landed my first PM role.

Knowing the PM terms and concepts is very crucial as it will help you speak like a PM and talk about your project work using the right terms. Also, you will be recognized as a Project Professional rather than a novice.

In this video, I share ten (10) terminologies and concepts you should know that will help you during your job search and interview process to land a Project Management job.

I'm rooting for YOU!

Found you yesterday. I just got a freelance position as a PM and I find your explanations really consumable. I have followed you on several devices. You are really providing value and I feel so much more knowledgeable from just watching a few videos. I am going to try to go through them all and rinse and repeat because I start next week! I wanted to add that I have been winging it because I naturally know how to lead projects, but I want to be professionalized and you are a Godsend. Thanks. Mo

I watched your video back to back. I will still continue to watch it even after securing my role.
Thanks a lot sis. God bless you.

Blow my mind. I have learned a lot already as a filmmaker who is new to this field and just found out that I do this already on those film sets. Let me go back and ask for more money abeg!

[gigglekeyon]

[nurattanko]

VERy easy to assimilate, Have you considered lecturing? you'd be great at it. Thank you for sharing.

[kelechilindaeronmhonsele]

Thank you Ogaga for this detailed teaching. I never knew that documenting lessons learned is an important aspect of project management. I often document lessons learned from any venture I undertake which helps me improve on the next. My question is about the project lifecycle. You explained initiation, planning, execution, monitoring & controlling, and finally closing stage. What happens to the last stage which is the delivery stage? Is it embedded in the execution stage?

[conedeetz]

Thank you Ogaga its 12:39 In Alaska and your video is helping me tremendously. it was detailed in the issues, I am having studying for my PMP test.

[hadassahlove]

Just came across your channel. Thank you your clear details in your videos. I'm trying to make a career switch right now and learning about various careers is topmost on my mind.
