The Digital Project Manager: Membership & Training Now Available In One Place
Here at The Digital Project Manager, we offer a membership program and a certificate course that are now available together for one price. Both are solid resources for digital project managers who want to run projects better and make meaningful connections with other digital project managers.
As the facilitator of both the course and community, I’m biased. What can I say, I love it here! I’ll explain what these popular DPM resources are and how you can best use them to your advantage as you progress along your career path.
Learn about how you can join in below, and feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
What Is DPM Membership?
DPM membership is a project management supergroup. It connects project managers with peers and mentors in the digital space to set the new standard for how digital project management should be done. Our members solve challenges, innovate, and drive change in the project management field while sharing knowledge and insights with each other along the way.
Members have access to over 100 templates and samples for important project documentation that can be downloaded and edited to fit specific project needs. There are also several ebooks available on topics like the project life cycle, project planning, and writing statements of work.
Slack
Our Slack workspace is both our water cooler and our knowledge sharing conduit. It's the centerpiece of our community, where members can post topics and discuss challenges with each other and our team of DPM Experts.
We’ve covered all sorts of topics in Slack, from sharing interesting projects we're working on to discussing practical project management tips, implementing agile successfully, managing stakeholder expectations, and celebrating the wins and successes of our fellow members.
Mentorship, Live Events, & Networking
Whether you’re looking to network, skill up, or learn from your peers, membership offers networking opportunities, mastermind groups, job postings, and access to our regular live events.
These interactive events are put on by the DPM team, and feature specific topics or themes. They're also a place for members to ask questions and chat directly with experts.
DPM Membership Is Great For You If…
- You’re a project manager who wants real-life project advice from peers and experts—the really good stuff you won’t find in any project management books.
- You want to weigh in on the bigger picture of digital projects: innovation in the field, the evolving role of the project manager, and how digital is shaping how projects get done.
- You’re looking for a community to connect with and network with.
- You want ongoing access to resources like templates, samples, ebooks, learning sessions, and mini courses to sustain you and keep you motivated on your project management journey!
What Is The DPM's Certificate Program?
Our digital project management certificate program is a self-paced, hands-on experience that helps students hone the instinct, judgment, and leadership and project management skills needed to successfully deliver complex digital projects.
The course includes 27+ multimodal lessons that you can access and complete on your own time, as well as regular assignments based on real-world project scenarios, group discussions, direct access to course instructors, and the aforementioned templates and samples.
Our program covers the entire project life cycle from start to finish, and you'll learn about how methodologies like waterfall, Scrum, and Kanban can be tailored and applied effectively in a digital space. It also goes into detail on project initiation, timelines, budgets, statements of work, managing projects day-to-day, problem solving and risk management, and project leadership.
There are many roles and job descriptions that can benefit from our course, including those that don’t necessarily have “project manager” in their title but are still leading projects or teams nonetheless.
Our Certificate Program Is Great For…
- Project managers new to digital: If you’re a delivery specialist who is now being asked to deliver projects that are digital in nature or to adopt new digital tools, our course will help you navigate the nuances of your new digital context.
- Digital professionals new to project management: If you’re a developer, business analyst, designer, or tester who is beginning to lead digital projects, our program will give you a crash course in the soft skills and project management assets that you’ll need to succeed.
- Account managers: If you’re a hands-on account manager more directly involved in digital delivery, this course will get your confidence and processes on the rails.
- Digital project managers: If you’re currently leading projects in the digital space—websites, apps, CRMs, ERPs, and such—you'll get perspective on the array of best practices in use by digital project managers around the world today.
- Junior project managers: If you’re just starting out in project management or are in a transition role from another field, our course can fast-track you into your ideal career path.
- Operations managers: If you’re an operations manager involved in setting up project processes and managing change, our course will give you a crucial understanding of digital project management to help you excel.
