Master PM with our in-depth real-world project examples
At Project Fundamentals, we believe the best way to learn project management is by seeing it in action and understanding how principles apply in the real world. That's why our entire 12-module core curriculum is built around walking you step-by-step through TWO complete, distinct project examples from initiation to closure.
You won't just hear about concepts – you'll see them applied, you'll get all the "blueprint" documents created for each, and you'll understand how to tailor your approach based on project scale and complexity.
Example Project 1: The Innovation Day Event
(Your first confident steps into Project Management)
Ever been asked to organize a company event, a team workshop, or a small internal initiative and felt completely lost? This example is for you!
We'll guide you through planning and executing a company-wide "Innovation Day" from the ground up. This relatable, manageable project is perfect for understanding all the core project management fundamentals in a straightforward setting.
With the Innovation Day, you will:
Learn how to take a simple idea and build a solid project charter and scope statement.
See how to create a practical Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), schedule, and a realistic budget (our example is $5,000 USD) for an event.
Understand how to identify risks specific to events (like low turnout or vendor issues) and plan responses.
Develop a communication plan to keep everyone from your volunteer team to company leadership informed.
Get hands-on with creating status reports, meeting agendas, minutes, and a final closure report for a smaller-scale project.
Key Takeaway: Build confidence by mastering the essentials on a project that’s easy to understand and apply to many common workplace initiatives.
Example Project 2: The Salesforce CRM Integration
(Tackling complexity and driving business value)
Ready to see how project management works on a more complex, business-critical technology implementation? This example will show you how.
We'll immerse you in a mid-scale project: implementing a Salesforce CRM system (Sales & Service Cloud) for a growing company, including integrating it with other tools like MailChimp and Zendesk, and migrating crucial customer data. (Our example uses a $75,000 USD direct expense budget).
With the Salesforce CRM Integration, you will:
See how to gather and document detailed requirements and user stories for a software project.
Learn to manage a more complex scope, WBS, and integrated schedule with multiple dependencies.
Understand how to plan and track a larger budget with external vendor costs and software licenses.
Dive deep into risk management for IT projects, including data migration, user adoption, and integration challenges.
Develop strategies for communicating with diverse stakeholders – from technical teams and external partners to end-users and the C-suite.
See real examples of status reports dealing with technical issues, UAT progress, and managing change requests in a dynamic environment.
Key Takeaway: Gain invaluable insights into managing technology projects, stakeholder complexities, and delivering a system that provides tangible business benefits – skills highly sought after in today's market.

your guide on the path to project mastery
Meet Jose
Hi, I'm Jose Perez, and I'm excited to be your guide on this project management journey!
With over 12 years of real-world experience leading diverse, high-impact projects for global organizations like the United Nations, bp, Novartis, and the Volvo Group, I've seen firsthand what it takes to deliver success in demanding environments. My focus has often been on complex IT projects, from digital initiatives to large-scale enterprise software rollouts for Fortune 500 companies.
But I wasn't always a seasoned PM. Like many of you, I didn't start with a formal project management degree. I studied business, focusing on Marketing and entrepreneurship. I kind of 'fell into' projects, eventually finding myself leading a few and discovering a real passion for the field. I realized project management let me use both my analytical and people skills in a fascinating way.
I also vividly remember the struggles of learning the ropes – figuring out how to define scope clearly, manage tricky timelines, keep stakeholders happy, and bring order to an sometimes chaotic process. It took time, effort, and yes, a few bumps along the way, to truly master the best practices that now allow me to consistently deliver successful, multi-million dollar projects.
That's exactly why I created Project Fundamentals. I recognized that so many professionals – whether you're an 'accidental project manager' thrown into the deep end, or an aspiring PM looking to build a solid career foundation – are looking for a clear, practical, and relatable path to mastering these essential skills. My goal is to bridge that gap between theory and real-world challenges, giving you the actionable strategies, tools, and 'blueprint' artifacts (like our in-depth Innovation Day and Salesforce CRM project examples) that I wish I'd had when I started.
Here's a bit more about what I bring to the table:
12+ Years of Global Project Leadership: Successfully delivered projects across diverse industries and scales.
Real-World Mentorship Experience: Passionate about helping professionals (like you!) develop practical PM skills and confidence.
A "Been There, Done That" Perspective: I understand the journey from beginner to expert because I've lived it.
Creator of This Practical Course & Community: Dedicated to building "Project Fundamentals" into the most actionable and supportive learning resource for aspiring and accidental PMs.
I'm not just here to teach you theory; I'm here to share the proven system that works, so you can avoid the common pitfalls and fast-track your ability to deliver successful projects and advance your career. Let's do this together!

Do you cover proven project management frameworks like PMBOK or PRINCE2?
Project Fundamentals teaches you the core principles and universal best practices of project management that align with globally recognized standards like those found in the PMBOK® Guide and PRINCE2®. While this course is not a specific exam prep course for one certification, it provides a strong foundational understanding of the essential knowledge areas (Scope, Schedule, Cost, Risk, Quality, etc.) and processes that underpin all successful project management, regardless of the specific methodology you might encounter in your workplace. You'll learn the 'what, why, and how' that makes these frameworks effective.
I'm not looking to become a full-time Project Manager, but I keep getting asked to lead projects in my current role. Is this course right for me?
Absolutely! This course is perfect for 'accidental project managers' like you. We focus on giving you the practical tools, templates, and step-by-step processes to bring structure and clarity to the projects you're already managing. You'll learn how to stop the chaos, deliver results more confidently, reduce stress, and impress your boss with your newfound organizational skills – all immediately applicable in your current role.
I want to start a career in project management. Will this course help me get a job or prepare for certifications?
Yes, Project Fundamentals is an excellent starting point for an aspiring PM. You'll gain a comprehensive understanding of the entire project lifecycle and master the core skills and terminology used by professionals. The in-depth project examples and the vast library of 'blueprint' artifacts will give you tangible proof of knowledge and a portfolio of realistic work samples to discuss in interviews. While not a dedicated exam-prep course, it provides the essential foundational knowledge that will make studying for certifications like the CAPM® or PMP® much easier down the line.
