This introduction is organised around the project management areas of knowledge, the framework used by the Project Management Institute. Its 46 short video lectures in three sections (about 1 hour 55 minutes, most of it in a single 83-minute section) define what project management is, survey each knowledge area, introduce basic tools and techniques, explain the project life cycle, and give an orientation to the PMI, the PMP credential and the PMBOK guide for anyone considering a formal certification later. It is published by HK School of Management and was last updated in August 2026; lectures are in English with auto-generated captions.
The course is designed for absolute beginners and lists no prerequisites. It is free to enrol in. As a free Udemy course it does not issue a certificate of completion, does not include Q&A or direct messaging, and may include advertisements.
