It took me quite a while to get everything right.

這花了我好一陣子準備

So, you may be confused seeing a 1 hour video, with a title Simplified in it.

所以你可能會困惑一個 1 小時長的影片，但其標題卻說是簡化過的

Don't be, just to set your expectations clearly this video has a lot of substance in it.

不需要這樣，相信你的期待，這部影片確實有很多實質內容

It's not one of those cooking under 3 minutes videos.

這不是那種 3 分鐘教你煮出好菜的影片

I am going to cover pretty much all the aspects of project management, be it project life

我將講授涵蓋幾乎所有專案管理的面向，包括專案的生命週期

cycle, process groups, knowledge areas, WBS, scheduling, cost.

流程群組、知識領域、工作分解結構、排程、成本

So, it's basically a 10 hour course condensed into 1.

基本上就是濃縮 10 小時的課程至 1 小時

So, my mission with this mini-course is to make project management very easy to understand

所以我在這個簡短課程中的任務是讓專案管理更容易

for you.

被你理解

Essentially, project management is fun but more importantly it is very easy.

基本上，專案管理除了有趣外，更重要的是還非常簡單

It's not a profession on its own.

它本身並非是一種專業

It's not like accounting, auditing, or even consulting.

它不像是會計、稽核或顧問

Project Management is a complementary discipline that helps you run your projects very easily.

專案管理是一種輔助的概念，幫助你的專案運行的更順利

As simple as that.

就如此容易

And the best part is pretty much all professionals be it an accountant or a chemist can benefit

而最棒的是，所有專業人士，無論是會計師還是化學家都可以從中受益

from it.

So, who is this video for?

那麼，這個影片是要給誰看的 ?

This video is for you if you want to learn how to manage your projects at work.

這部影片是為了給那些想學習如何管理工作專案的人看的

So, it's applicable to every single professional I can think of.

所以我想這適用於每一個專業領域

I have never seen any professional in my 10 year management consulting career who hasn't

在我 10 年的專案管理顧問生涯中，我從未看過有哪一個職業不需要執行專案的

run a project.

It just so happens that sometimes they don't know they were managing projects.

的確有時會發生他們其實不知道已經在管理專案了

But they were projects indeed.

但它的確是專案

So, if you are looking for a simple enough framework to understand project management

所以如果你有在找尋簡單的專案管理教材

and implement at work, then you are on the right place.

套用在工作上，那你找對地方了

By the end of this video, I am confident that you'll be able to add Project Management

在這部影片的最後，我敢保證你將能夠將專案管理這個技能

as a skill in your resume.

加到你的履歷中

Also, this video is for you if you are preparing for your PMP exam, Once you finish this mini-course,

此外，如果你正在準備 PMP 考試，這個影片是適合你的。一旦你完成這個迷你課程

the PMBOK guide will be a lot easier to understand.

PMBOK 聖經將會更容易理解

See, the PMBOK guide is over 500 pages long.

PMBOK 聖經有將近 500 頁

It's a very long book and quite boring I must say.

它非常大本且我必須說讀起來相當無聊

Obviously, I can't share everything in this short video that exist in PMBOK guide.

顯然我無法將所有出現在 PMBOK 聖經中的內容在這部影片中一一介紹

But if you watch this video without skipping, the PMBOK guide will be so easy to follow

但如果你確實完成這部影片的收看，PMBOK 聖經對你來說將會很好懂

for you.

Because, it's all about understanding the fundamentals.

因為你了解了所有基礎

Once you understand the fundamentals, everything else just becomes very easy to follow.

一旦你了解了基礎，所有其他的東西都會變得很好懂

When I took my PMP exam, now around 6 years ago, I almost aced it.

當我去考 PMP 測驗時，大約 6 年前，我幾乎滿分

I scored one of the highest points at that time.

我得到那時的最高分

And the only reason why I scored so high was not because I spent 100s of hours studying,

而我得那麼高分的唯一原因不是我花了 100 小時讀書

on the contrary, I just understood the fundamentals.

相反的，我只是理解了所有基礎而已

And once you understand the building blocks, everything else just becomes so easy to follow.

一旦你理解了結構單元，其他一切會變得很好懂

So, I suggest you watch the entire video without skipping, but if you are interested in learning

所以我建議你看完整部影片，但如果你只對學習某些特定單元有興趣

certain elements only, then you can look at the description box for the index of the video.

你可以直接看影片的檢索

Let's get started.

我們開始吧

What is even a project?

什麼是一個專案 ?

It definitely has a sexy tone to it right?

唸起來有一種性感的語氣吧？

Project…

專案

I just love the way it sounds.

我喜歡它被唸出來的聲音

I wonder how cool it must sound in French.

我好奇如果用法文發音會有多酷

Proje…

專案

Well, project is a temporary endeavor to create a unique solution.

專案是一個短暫需努力的目標，以創造獨特的解決方案

Yeah that's operations.

喔 ! 那是活動

No Well, the difference between a project and

不是的，專案和活動的差異是

operations is fairly simple.

活動相當簡單

A project ends.

專案結束

So, it's temporary.

所以是短暫的

You implement your project, you close it, you create a unique product/service/ or whatever

你執行你的計畫，然後結束它，你創造了獨特的產品 / 服務

outcome you wanted then you are done.

或其他任何你想要的結果後就結束了

Whereas in operations, it's on-going and repetitive.

對於活動，它是指進行中且重複地做的事

You may have also heard about the terms program and portfolio.

您可能還聽說過計畫和作品集這 2 個名詞

Let me just quickly explain them here.

讓我在這快速地解釋它們

Program is multiple projects put together.

計畫是由很多地專案構成的

Combined.

結合的

And Portfolio is similarly.

而作品集非常相似

Multiple programs put together.

是由很多的計畫組在一起

So, it's project, program, portfolio.

所以，順序是專案、計畫、作品集

Now before I go further, and dive deep.

在我更深入介紹之前

You need to understand something crucial.

你必須要了解一些重要的事

To run any project, you need 2 methodologies.

執行任何專案，你需要 2 種方法

The first one is a project life cycle and the second one is project management process.

第一個是專案生命週期，第二個是專案管理過程

Most people confuse these 2.

大部的人會混淆兩者

And if these are not clear, you can kiss the PMP certification goodbye.

如果分不清楚兩者，你可以跟你的 PMP 證照說掰掰了

It's absolutely amazing how many content creators in YouTube confuse these two.

非常驚訝的是很多教這些內容的 YouTuber 也會混淆兩者

They are not interchangeable.

兩者之概念是不能互相取代的

You cannot afford to confuse a project life cycle with a project management process.

你不能將專案生命週期與專案管理過程混淆

Don't worry I am going to make it very simple for you.

不要擔心我將簡單講解此兩概念

Let's start with Project Life Cycle.

我們先從專案生命週期開始吧 !

Project Life Cycle is unique to a project, to an industry, to your needs.

專案生命週期對於一個專案、產業以及人們的需求是獨特的

It's highly customizable.

是高度客製化的

Think of it like this; a human development is a project.

想像假設一下，人類的發展是一個專案

So, your life cycle is; 1) Conceiving

所以，你的生命週期是 1) 懷孕

2) Birth 3) Childhood

2) 生產 3) 童年

4) Teenage hood.

4) 青少年

Teenage hood.

青少年

Is that a word?

是這樣說嗎 ?

Teenaging?

還是 Teenaging ?

5) Adulthood 6) And death

5) 成人 6) 然後死亡

Easy stuff right?

簡單吧 ?

So, now if it was an IT project.

所以，如果我們是指一個 IT 專案

I am not an IT but it would like something like this;

我不是 IT，但我想它是這樣

High level design Detailed Design

高層次設計、詳細設計

Coding Testing

編碼測試

Installation And Turnover

安裝及週轉

This is project life cycle.

這是它的生命週期

The term cycle is a bit confusing here.

週期這個詞在這會讓人混淆

Because, after you die, you don't get to be conceived again and be born again.

因為當你死亡後，你並不會再藉由懷孕重新誕生一次

I think.

我認為啦

But who knows.

但誰知道

Or once you hand over the product to the client, you don't get to design it again.

或一旦你交給客戶產品後，你不會再重新設計它一次

So, it's not actually a cycle.

因此那並非是一個週期

It's just a confusing term they use.

只是一個容易讓人混淆的詞

It's sequential.

這是序列的

It's a sequential steps of various phases of a project.

這是一個專案不同階段序列的步驟

And these phases are unique to your own project, and your needs.

而這些階段對於你的專案、需求是獨特的

A project life cycle may have 1 phase or multiple phases like the examples I gave earlier.

一個專案生命週期可能會有一個或多個階段，就像我之前提到的例子

There is no single way to define the ideal structure for a project.

沒有一種方法可以定義出最好的專案結構

For example, one company may treat a feasibility study as first phase of a project, another

舉例來說，有的公司會將可行性研究當作專案的第一階段

may treat it as a third phase, or another may not even include it.

其他公司可能會把它當作第三階段，又或者甚至沒有包含這個階段

So, it's custom made.

所以那是客製化的

I know I said multiple times, custom made, custom made,,, but you'll soon understand

我知道我說過很多次，客製化，客製化 ... 但你將會明白

why I had to repeat it multiple times.

我為什麼要重複那麼多次

Just be patient.

有耐心一點

Ok, now let's talk about the 2nd element that you need to run any project.

好，那我們來談第二個每個專案都會遇到的元素

And that's the Project Management Process, your process groups.

就是專案管理過程，你的流程群組

See, if you are following PMI's Project Management Body of Knowledge, then your process

你看，如果你遵照 PMI 的專案管理聖經的話，你的流程群組

groups aren't quite customizable.

是非常不客製化的

The processes inside the group are, but not the process groups themselves.

指的是在群組裡的流程，而不是指流程群組本身

You can't change their order.

你不能改變它的順序

So, we have 5 process groups to learn here.

所以，我們這裡有 5 種流程群組要學習

We have Initiation, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing.

它們是啟動、計畫、執行、監測以及控制，然後是結案

These are kind of set in stone.

這些是固定的

You don't play around with them that much.

你不要試圖改變它們

Now, here is where all the confusion arises.

現在有更多疑惑出現了

For those of you, who are interested in taking a PMP test, I will now tell you the single

對於那些對 PMP 考試有興趣的人，我將要告訴你們

biggest reason why most test takers fail.

一個沒有考過的最大的原因

And it's all because of confusing this, this what I am about to share.

那就是搞混了這個概念，這是我為什麼要在這邊分享的原因

It's so confusing that even most of the content creators, most of the videos here

這也是一些講授這方面內容的 YouTuber 或是 Blogger

in YouTube or the blog posts, or the books don't understand or explain it well enough.

或是一些參考書容易混淆或講解不清楚的概念

Remember how we talked about the fact that Project Life Cycle is highly customizable.

記得我們談論過專案生命週期是非常客製化的事實

Now, what we do in real life is, for small projects we simplify things.

而我們在現實生活中所做的一些小專案，我們簡化了一些事情

Instead of attaching process groups to every single phase of the project life cycle, like,

與其將流程群組附加於專案生命週期的每個階段

Conceiving – initiation, planning, execution, MandC, closing

像是懷孕 ─ 啟動、計畫、執行、監測、控制、結案

Birth – initiation, planning, execution, MandC, closing

生產 ─ 啟動、計畫、執行、監測、控制、結案

Etc Instead, in real life, we just attach the

等等，在現實生活中取而代之的是，我們僅附加

process groups to a single phase project life cycle.

流程群組於專案生命週期的單一階段

This makes things really easy to run the project.

這讓一個專案可以簡單運行

Less complication.

降低複雜度

I mean why make things more complicated than they should be right.

我的意思是為什麼讓事情變得比他們應該做的更複雜

There is so much paper work involved.

這裡有包括很多文書工作

But here is the confusing part, this doesn't mean that all of a sudden process groups became

但這裡是令人困惑的部分，這並不意味著突然所有的過程群組都變成了專案生命週期

project life cycle.

Your project life cycle isn't initiation, planning, execution, MandC, and closing.

你的專案生命週期不是啟動、計畫、執行、監測、控制、結案

If you don't get this right, I guarantee you that you will fail the exam.

如果你不了解這個概念，我保證你不會通過考試的

Now we are going to talk about the process groups, and while I am explaining that, I

現在我們將要來談過程群組，而當我在解釋時

will also run a project for you to demonstrate how it works in real life.

我也同時會用一個專案舉例，讓你了解實際運用

But before I get there, I want to share something quickly with you.

但在開始以前，我將要快速分享給你們

It's about PMP, If you are looking to get a PMP degree so you can advance in your career

有關於 PMP，如果你有想要得到 PMP 證照，然後想著對於職涯可以加分，得到好的工作

and get better jobs, don't.

千萬不要這樣認為

Don't do that.

不要這樣做

It won't really help you as much as you think.

這將不會有太大幫助

Learn project management, it's awesome.

學習專案管理，這非常棒

Everybody should learn project management.

每個人都要學專案管理

But don't you think that by getting a piece of paper, you'll get amazing jobs, That's

但你不要想著得到一張證書，你就可以得到不得了的工作

not going to happen.

這不可能發生的

It may even be detrimental.

它甚至可能會幫倒忙

Because, PMI's project management is just a framework not a methodology, and even the

因為 PMI 的專案管理只是一個框架，並非一個方法

terminology they use is very different than what most companies use internally.

甚至使用的一些術語，與一般公司常用的非常不同

So, Instead of spending 100s of hours and a lot of money on a certificate that you won't

所以，與其花 100 多小時和很多錢得到一個甚至你不會用的證書

even use, I suggest you check out my LIG program and let that program show you how you can

我建議你參加我的 LIG 課程，讓它告訴你

achieve the career you deserve.

如何在職場上得到你應該有的

It sounded a bit like an advertisement break but it's not.

這聽起來像廣告，但不是

I am very passionate about my LIG program and the results are overwhelmingly positive.

我對於我的 LIG 課程非常熱忱，而結果是非常正面的

Go to The Career Mastery.com and you'll see the link to register to LIG.

去 The Career Mastery.com 網站，你可以看到註冊 LIG 課程的網址

Because, as I said most multinational firms have their in-house methodology to follow.

因為我說過，大部分的跨國教學機構都有其內建的方法要先遵從

So, you'll have to unlearn a lot of things to learn their way.

因此，你將會錯過很多其他可以學習東西

For example, my employer PwC Consulting has a complex methodology for every single work

舉例來說，我的 PwC Consulting 雇主對於每一個工作有著非常複雜的研究方法要傳達

we deliver.

It's the best in the world and miles better than PMI's framework or Prince 2 methodology.

它是世界上最好的，比 PMI 的框架或 Prince 2 方法更好

So, your future employer will have its own methodology as well.

所以你未來的老闆也將會有自己的研究方法

But still, learn the fundamentals, learn everything I'll share in this video, PROJECT MANAGEMENT

但是仍然，學習基礎以及我會在這部影片教的一切，專案管理棒透了

IS AWESOME.

It's an incredible practice but a certificate is debatable when you consider the investment

這機會非常難得，但對於取得證書的投資確實是有待商榷的

vs reward equation.

You want to a better job?

你想要一份更好的工作嗎 ?

that's not the way to go.

那不是一個好途徑

You just don't know some of the hidden strategies to get better jobs, that's pretty much it.

你只是還不知道還有一些隱藏的策略來取得更好的工作，非常多的撇步

And one final point on this, I have a pretty amazing bonus and guarantee.

還有最後一點，我有非常讓你驚奇的獎勵以及保證

If you don't get the results or the jobs you want within 30 days, I will personally

如果你沒有如願在 30 天內得到你非常想要的結果或工作，我將親自

work with you free of charge to get you to where you need to be.

免費指導你成為你想要的

Ok, sorry for the break.

好，為這個部分感到抱歉

I felt compelled to share that.

我覺得有必要分享一下

Let's start with the first process group; and that's initiation.

我們從第一個流程群組開始，那就是啟動

Let's do it.

那就開始

To make things very grounded, I will use the construction of this boat as an example explaining

為了讓這個概念好理解，我將要用建造船隻這個例子

the process groups.

來解釋流程群組

I could give you examples from my work history.

我可以給你我過去在工作上處理過的例子

Obviously, as a manager at PwC Consulting, I ran 100s of projects.

身為一個在 PwC Consulting, PricewaterhouseCoopers 的經理，我遇過 100 多個專案

But it would create a few problems.

但這會造成一些問題

1) I am under strict client confidentiality agreements and 2 we don't use PMI's framework.

1) 我簽署過嚴厲的保密協定而且 2) 我們並非採用 PMI 框架

We had our own internal methodology to follow.

我們遵照自己內部的研究方法

So, I think using this boat.

所以，我才需要用造船的例子

Designing and manufacturing this boat as an example will make it fun but at the same time

以設計及造船為例子很有趣並同時

simple.

簡單

Now, this applies to project management as well.

現在它也適用於專案管理

For initiation process group, you have 2 important processes;

對於啟動的流程模組，有 2 個重要的過程

First process is that you develop a project charter.

第一個過程是建立一個專案章程

And 2nd process is you identify stakeholders.

而第二個過程是識別利害關係人

Let's start with Project Charter Project charter is a fairly simple document

我們從專案章程開始，它是一個非常簡單的文件

outlining a few things.

概述一些事情

It's like mini project plan.

就像是一個微型專案計畫

Very simple one though.

非常簡單的一個

Essentially, you are finding an answer to; why you are doing what you are doing.

重要的是，你在找尋你為什麼在做你正在做的事情的答案

So, in my case, if I have to develop a project charter for building this boat, it would include

所以，以造船的例子來說，我需要先建立一個專案章程，包括

my objectives, scope, rough idea for the cost and time, key stakeholders and milestones.

我的目的、範圍、粗略的金錢及時間花費、關鍵利害關係人以及里程碑

That's pretty much it.

它還有很多

At the initation stage, you don't want the document to be very detailed.

在啟動階段，你不會想要非常詳細的文件

We need the details later for planning stage.

細節將會在等下的計畫階段

Speaking of later stages, can you do me a favor, if you liked the video so far, can

講到等下的階段，幫我一個忙，如果你目前為止喜歡這部影片

you please subscribe to my channel.

請你按一下訂閱

Because if you don't YouTube will not show my future videos to you.

因為如果你沒有按的話，你將不會在 YouTube 看到我未來的新影片

So, in your case, your project charter may be as simple as explaining why you consider

所以在你的例子裡，你的專案章程將會很簡單，如同解釋你為什麼要拓展海外市場

the expansion to foreign markets, why you are considering building that new factory.

為什麼你要建新廠

I'll repeat once more.

我將再重複一次

This is not the time to go into huge details.

這時候還不需要太多細節

Talk about the business case and maybe high level project objectives, major deliverables,
