Students will start with readings on core concepts from the Agile Practice Guide in this lesson. These core concepts are basic to an understanding of the contemporary project methodology that is usually applied in the field of project management. Lesson 2: System for Value Delivery This lesson will cover core concepts, relationships among Portfolio Management, Program Management, Project Management and Organizational Project Management. In addition, we will derive some insight from the various roles in the project environment with both predictive and adaptive methodologies. A key concept is selecting the correct project approach from either an adaptive/agile approach or a predictive/waterfall approach. This course uses the terms methodology or approach interchangeably. How an organization chooses to bound or manage projects is a good indicator of future success — or better said, it’s an organization’s “system for value delivery.” Lesson 3: Project Management Principles If you are building a career in management, you will need to prepare for increased responsibility and authority. Your career is in focus here. Examining how you can build your personal competency can start right here by learning these and examining your own by an assessment of your individual skill. A wise saying: “Accentuate your strengths and mitigate your weaknesses.” Lesson 4: Performance Domains 1-3 This lesson will cover Performance Domains 1-3. These are the first three of the eight performance domains. The projects performance is the point, which is not separate from organizational performance, in that the project goal is to build upon an organization's value delivery capability or the components that lead to the advancement of business or services provided. Lesson 5: Performance Domains 4-5 This lesson will cover Performance Domains 4-5: the Planning Performance Domain (2.4) and the Project Work Performance Domain (2.5). The projects planning and work performance are covered in our reading. Pay particular attention to the planning performance domain, as it will be our activity and represents a significant level of information that, if mastered, will help you with test questions and answer identification. Lesson 6: Performance Domains 6-7 This lesson will cover Performance Domains 6-7: the delivery Performance Domain (2.6) and the measurement Performance Domain (2.7).The project’s execution includes this lesson’s domain focus areas to deliver results, measure performance and deal with the inevitable uncertainty. Project team and leadership engagement in the various activities and competencies in this lesson are determinative to the project's success. Many focus items in this lesson are not only core project principles but also focus areas for the CAPM exam preparation. Lesson 7: Uncertainty and Tailoring This lesson covers the Performance Domain (2.8): Uncertainty. The lesson also covers selected readings in GUIDE Chapter 3, covering an introduction to the topic of Tailoring. The sub-topic of Risk will also be covered in this lesson. Lesson 8: Models, Methods and Artifacts Every organization will make decisions on employment of various Models, Methods and Artifacts (MMAs). While MMAs all fall into the approach (methodology) chosen and discussed in many of the previous lessons, MMAs are a roster or slate of players and tactics to be employed in a particular portfolio or project.  MMAs are found in PMBOK Guide 7e, Chapter 4; Models, Methods, & Artifacts pp. 153-195. Readings in the APG will introduce the concepts of lean framework and its own MMAs (while not necessarily listed as MMAs.) Understand all possible MMAs are not covered in the PMBOK Guide, and it may not be possible to implement all that are covered fully. Because the Guide introduces them, we will cover them. Lesson 9: Guide Appendix Overview This lesson wraps up the coverage of core and CAPM prep topics with a focus on Agile team requisites of the Sponsor, Product and Agile Team composition. While Glossary is assigned, students can choose to review it to a level they require, which is based on each one’s own confidence level. This lesson will cover core concepts with additional coverage of the division between the adaptive and predictive projects. The glossary is not assigned to read, per se, but to use as a resource to improve your vocabulary of projects. Study tip: tag those acronyms and terms you think are the most important and study them your way. You can add them to the slide set to drill on them. Lesson 10: Final Exam - [Course ZLSS1133: Project Management Professional (PMP) Exam Prep (Online)](https://cpe.tri-c.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=1739285): Lesson 1: Orientation and Overview of Project Management This lesson will provide an overview of the PMBOK Guide, as well as the concepts of project management. The relationships among Portfolio Management, Program Management, Project Management and Organizational Project Management will be discussed. In addition, students will learn about the business value of project management and the relationship between project management, operations management and organizational strategy. We will discuss the role of the project manager and their responsibilities within the organization. In Chapter 5, Wysocki provides an overview of the PMBOK process management groups — a key learning area in preparing you for the exam. Lesson 2: Scope and Planning in TPM This lesson will provide an overview of how to scope and conduct planning in a Traditional Project Management (TPM) project. Lesson topics include scope statement and charter documents. The planning lesson begins with RBS build methods to Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) from the available project requirements.  This prepares the team to make work activity identification, sequencing and estimating, which is covered in the next lesson. Lesson 3: Planning Cost and Launching Projects in TPM This lesson will cover planning and estimation techniques for activities in a TPM project and launching the project in the Execution and Monitoring and Controlling phases of TPM. Wysocki Chapter 8 will be covered in lesson 10, but students should pay close attention to the end of Chapter 8, as it deals with scheduling factors such as assigning resources, leveling and work packages. Lesson 4: Execute and Close Projects in TPM This lesson will cover executing and closing out a TPM Project. During the execution phase, part of monitoring and controlling a project includes keeping variances to planned costs and schedules from coming to a head. The PM’s job is tracking and mitigation. Closing a project is covered in Wysocki Chapter 10, and the factors that make a successful closing are an exam key. Lesson 5: Project Method Selection This lesson will prepare students to demonstrate the ability to select a project methodology best suited to the unique demands upon an organization, the organization's resources and PM methodological choices that are available to the organization. TPM (waterfall), Agile, Hybrid or other methods are now testable topics. The PMBOK 6e is steeped in TPM (waterfall or linear methodology), and it has been a standard for decades. A full half the PMP Exam will still be on TPM concepts. PMI is recognizing changes in project management standards and adding new content in the exam covering project use of Agile.  Lesson 6: Business Environment This lesson will cover the business environment from business climate down to the tactics used to accomplish the firm’s strategy. We will explore business strategic and product models that are common to the pursuit of strategy and which is best for what answers. A creative approach called design thinking is one you should know for the exam, so look at the resource search link example below. Lesson 7: Implementing Agile: Environment This lesson will cover implementing Agile, an overview of the environment and cover the common terms and methods associated with Agile or adaptive and the iterative variations. Resources include topics in Quality that are important for the exam. Lesson 8: Implementing Agile: Delivery This lesson on implementing Agile delivery of projects will cover a chapter on extreme management factors. Resource links for shared topic searches will add to resource areas important on the exam.

Each painting either created a scandal or was immediately hailed as a masterpiece — often simultaneously. He was known to be violent, arrogant and even a murderer.

They believed that only rational investigation could reveal the truths of man, nature and the cosmos. For them, man would never be free unless critical thought and investigation became dominant in all areas of knowledge — most notably, science and politics. Not surprisingly, the Enlightenment resulted in the rejection of many, if not all, historical religious doctrines.

We will examine these writings for a wider perspective on history and their theological implications. - [Course ZELD5933: Fun With Italian w/ Maureen Huefner (Fall 2026-East)](https://cpe.tri-c.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=10561785): Come learn the beautiful language of Italian in a nonthreatening environment.

By 1940, Cleveland had about 220,000 trees. To this day, Cleveland-area tree expanses and park systems are the envy of the country. Instructor Laura Peskin will highlight some area park and garden firsts, the biggest and best from exceptional garden cemeteries to notable rose plots, and the most urban wilderness and extreme habitats a short way away. The beautification of local parks by Roosevelt-era “alphabet agencies” merits a class session. Trouble in paradise is addressed in the American chestnut and American elm blights with an emphasis on bringing back beloved trees. - [Course ZELD5987: The Gardener’s Gazette w/ Marilyn Hallenburg (Fall 2026-East)](https://cpe.tri-c.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=10562214): As we witness all the changes in our world — climate change, food recalls due to various pathogens, the decline in our pollinators, and even the availability of certain types of foods — we realize gardening, whether for food or enjoyment, is becoming more important every day. Today, there are so many ways to garden: traditional garden beds, raised beds, and container gardening on a patio or apartment balcony. We can even use whimsical containers to garden in. Join the Master Gardeners of Cuyahoga County as we explore the world of gardening and our pollinators who make our food and flowers possible.

Pieces w/ Marc Buchner (Fall 2026-East)](https://cpe.tri-c.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=10562249): We live in a vast universe that has been in existence for over 13 billion years. Over the past several hundred years, science (and physics in particular) has gained a good understanding of how the universe began (the Big Bang), how it has developed, and how it “works” today. In this course, we will examine the big ideas that have given us this understanding — including Newton’s laws of motion and gravity, Maxwell’s theory of electricity and magnetism, Einstein’s special and general relativity, and quantum mechanics. We will even make a small foray into cutting-edge ideas and approaches being developed and tested.

An exciting journey through time and space awaits you! - [Course ZELD5993: Titans, Robber Barons and Scalawags w/ Avery H. Fromet (Fall 2026-East)](https://cpe.tri-c.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=10562270): The last half of the 19th century saw the unimagined growth of industry in America. Those who participated in that growth amassed vast industrial empires and extreme wealth. Men such as Cornelius Vanderbilt, Andrew Carnegie, J.P.

Peskin (Fall 2026-East)](https://cpe.tri-c.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=10562325): This course commences around 1800 as the modern women’s movement dawns and Ohio prepares for statehood. The course will then go into considerable detail on the pre-Civil War progressiveness of our region for women’s rights and education. These efforts and the intertwined ones of abolitionism and temperance garnered much Northeast Ohio support. In the later push for women’s suffrage, Northeast Ohio was a state leader — another course emphasis. Mid-century brought Northeast Ohio female workplace trailblazers. The course wraps up in the mid-1960s with the passage of the Civil Rights Act’s Title VII and the official, though unrealized, end of workplace gender discrimination. - [Course ZELD5910: World Mysteries II w/ Avery H.

Ancient Hebrews began a centuries-long journey of self-discovery. The process allows us to formulate ethics, modern law and the roots of democracy — all originated with a man who accepted an offer from the creator of the universe. - [Course ZELD5997: Book Discussion Group w/ Marcia Petchers (Fall 2026-Virtual)](https://cpe.tri-c.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=10562405): This student-led literature discussion class actively engages participants in constructively conversing about the books we read.

When freed, the ancient Jews wandered aimlessly for two generations before finding themselves. Is the price of freedom personal responsibility? While our modern nation has been considered free since 1783, we continue to struggle among ourselves with envy, resentment, equality and violence. What are our personal and societal Egypts? What should we expect to encounter in our personal wilderness? - [Course ZELD5862: Lights, Camera, Mistletoe: Holiday Film Magic w/ Judi Slack (Fall 2026-Virtual)](https://cpe.tri-c.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=10562432): Why do we return to the same snowy villages and festive town squares every December?

In this course, we will go behind the lens of our most beloved holiday films to discover how the magic of the movies helped shape our own holiday traditions. From the mid-century nostalgia of White Christmas to the modern-day phenomenon of the “small-town” romance, we will explore the evolution of the genre. We will discuss the rise of the Christmas TV special, the secret formula behind the Hallmark “rush,” and why certain films have become as essential to our celebrations as the tree itself. Join us for a trip down memory lane as we celebrate the stories that make the season bright. - [Course ZELD5894: The Botanical Battlefield: How Plants Helped Win World War II w/ Judi Slack (Fall 2026-Virtual)](https://cpe.tri-c.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=10562445): Most histories of World War II focus on the clash of military might, steel and tanks — but the true foundation of the global conflict was found in the roots of plants. This course offers a unique blend of botanical and military history, exploring how plants affected every aspect of the war, even those rarely associated with botany. This course is designed for history buffs, passionate gardeners and science enthusiasts alike. It reveals how the war was fought and won in the forest and the field: from the timber that built high-speed bombers to the rubber that kept the Allies moving to the “Vitamin War” that prevented national starvation. Discover how the medicinal miracles of quinine and penicillin saved millions and how the humble Victory Garden became a powerful tool of civil defense. So, join us and see how the roots of resilience grew deep during the war years and how the natural world was — and remains — our most powerful ally. You will leave this class with a profound new understanding of how the roots of plants helped change the course of human history. - [Course ZELD5898: The Gold in Your Pantry: Spices That Built and Changed the World w/ Judi Slack (Fall 2026-Virtual)](https://cpe.tri-c.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=10562462): Those innocent jars of spices in your cupboard do little to reveal their incredible world history. For centuries, the spice trade was the world’s greatest industry — it established and destroyed empires, led to the discovery of new continents, and helped lay the foundation of the modern world. In this course, we will trace the global exploration ignited by these botanicals, pushing humanity across uncharted oceans and reshaping world economies and trade through the birth of the first global corporations. We will immerse ourselves in the profound global culinary and cultural impact of these treasures, discovering how a single peppercorn bridged the gap between the East and West. Our journey will move from the galley to the laboratory to examine the medical and science significance of spices, investigating their transition from ancient “miracle cures” to modern anti-inflammatory breakthroughs. Finally, we will evaluate the lasting legacy of the spice trade — from the vibrant fusion cuisines on our tables today to the complex geopolitical borders it left in its wake. Join us for a seven-week expedition through the scents that built civilization. - [Course ZELD5820: 1970s Sitcoms: What We Learn From Them w/ Diane Wido (Fall 2026-West)](https://cpe.tri-c.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=10562477): What are your favorite sitcoms of the ‘70s?

O'Leary (Fall 2026-West)](https://cpe.tri-c.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=10563313): The United States of America is a democracy where “We the People” elect fellow citizens to serve the welfare of all. The founders resented financial burdens imposed by a far-away government in which they had no voice. They wrote a constitution that ensured both local and federal governments would listen to the voters before taking action that stressed ordinary people. In our 250 years as a nation, America has evolved from a local rural economy to an international powerhouse. Those changes have been guided by our elected officials, who both make the laws and administer them. It has not always been a peaceful process. Yet time and again, leaders have emerged to unify our efforts to make the necessary changes. We elect leaders for the school board and the city, county, state and federal bodies of government. It is not unusual for a single vote to determine the outcome of an election. This class will discuss the key periods of change to our nation and the people who made them happen. We’ll follow the votes from George Washington to the present day. - [Course ZELD5906: Watercolor Painting Small to Large w/ Bonny Carroll (Fall 2026-West)](https://cpe.tri-c.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do?method=load&courseId=10563325): Do you want to learn about painting and improve your skills?
