There are 3 modules in this course
In this foundational module, learners explore the value of workflow automation in modern project management and its role in improving efficiency, accuracy, and collaboration. They will examine how repetitive manual processes create delays, inconsistencies, and communication gaps—issues that can be mitigated through automation aligned with PMBOK® systems thinking and process efficiency principles. Through a combination of interactive dialogues, targeted readings, and guided practice, learners will deconstruct a manual project process into its essential components—a clear trigger, a logical action, and a defined outcome. This hands-on approach introduces the trigger-and-action model (IFTTT logic) as the foundational concept behind every automated workflow. By the end of this module, learners will be able to design the first step of an automation, mapping a real-world project scenario into a sequence of events that connects tools and streamlines team communication.

An automation is only valuable when it runs reliably and predictably. In this final module, learners will shift from building to verifying and improving their automated workflows. You will explore how to test your automation, confirm that each step functions correctly, and identify where and why errors occur—whether due to incorrect triggers, missing data, or connection issues between tools. Using guided practice, troubleshooting checklists, and scenario-based examples, you’ll learn to validate that each trigger and action executes in the correct order. Identify and diagnose common failure points such as authentication errors, broken connections, or misaligned data fields. Refine and optimize your workflow for long-term reliability and efficiency. By the end of this module, you will have the skills to confidently evaluate, adjust, and maintain automated processes that continue to perform effectively as project needs evolve.
