Uruk Project Management (Uruk PM) is a mission-driven tech startup. Our primary business mission is to help organizations transform the way they lead their projects and maximize shareholder value.

Workshop for New or Returning Women Project Managers

Uruk Project Management (Uruk PM) is a mission-driven tech startup. Our primary business mission is to help organizations transform the way they lead their projects and maximize shareholder value. However, even as a bootstrapped startup, we want to establish the Uruk Community, and support our society at large.
As part of Uruk’s community support, Uruk PM has launched multiple initiatives dedicated to different community groups. The Women PM Workshop is an important one of these initiatives.

Women PM Program, Purpose

Uruk PM wants to support women, especially those who have been out of work or are recent graduates. The job market is highly competitive. We want to help this segment of our community acquire new skills to help them consider or start a career in the exciting field of project management. Project management is our passion, and we know that PM skills are essential for careers in any domain.

The WomenPM program is a project-based learning (applied-learning) extended training program that blends concepts with practical applications of these concepts in real-time or realistic projects. Therefore, the program aligns with one of the founding principles of Uruk PM, Applied Project Management!

Methodology

Project work is often done in teams. Therefore, the WomenPM learning program will use teams. Each team could be 3 to 5 people.

During the program, we will cover a project across the entire product delivery life-cycle. We start with the idea and clarify the concept and product vision. Next, we travel through the early stages, such as feasibility, requirements, project management, and detailed definitions. We use the Uruk Platform to simulate the work through these various stages and their outputs.

The program will be:

  1. Nine weeks,
  2. Blend online training with coaching (in every session),
  3. Each session will be 2 hours, 1 hours (+/-) of educational content, and the other hour for group coaching,
  4. In each session, we will cover general concepts and at least one stage of the product delivery life cycle,
  5. Teams will work on their respective projects between sessions, completing the deliverables for the covered stage,
  6. The online learning would be live, led by Mounir Ajam.
  7. To graduate, the teams must do a final project presentation.
