Project Coordination & Agile / Scrum

Learn to do the coordinator job: build and hold a plan, run the cadence that keeps a team honest, write a status report that says the true thing, keep a RAID log that actually gets used, and turn scattered meeting notes into actions people do.

What you'll build

Real portfolio pieces built during the course, not a certificate for its own sake. Each one is work you can show.

  • Project planA two-layer plan: a milestone view a sponsor can read, with planned against forecast dates, dependencies and a confidence rating carrying its evidence, plus the working layer underneath it in both flavours, a sprint plan for adaptive delivery and a task schedule with float for predictive.
  • Sprint board snapshot with commentaryA real, untidied board at mid-sprint, plus your reading of it: three observations, what each probably means, what you did about it, and what you would tell a stakeholder who asked today.
  • Status report packThree consecutive weekly reports across the simulation, with the status changing from on track to at risk, each change marked and explained, and one decision that came back the other way from your recommendation and had to be reported against.
  • Risk and issue logA working RAID log covering the project's six weeks: risks written as if this happens then this follows, one closed because it went away, one accepted deliberately, one realised and converted into a linked issue, plus a closed issue, assumptions and dependencies with owners on both sides.
  • Meeting notes to actions packThree packs from three kinds of meeting, each built from raw notes printed in the course: sprint planning, a difficult stakeholder conversation and an incident call. Decisions, actions with one owner and a real date each, open questions, and a carried-over section that shows follow-up actually happening.

Just enough theory to function: what a project is and is not, why scope, time and cost fight each other, when a predictive plan beats an adaptive one and when it is the other way round, Scrum described correctly rather than as workplace folklore, what an estimate actually is, and the handful of logs and habits that keep a project from quietly going sideways.

Description

Every CertClue course follows the same seven-part shape: fundamentals, the role translated out of job-posting language, a real working day, the job's recurring rhythms, a multi-day simulation, the portfolio you build along the way, and a handoff into your next move. Here is what that looks like for project coordinator.
