RBPM
Results-Based Management (RBM) is a shift from a focus on inputs and activities to one on outputs, outcomes, and impact. Results are the changes that can be described and measured, and they are the consequence of a cause-and-effect relationship. They imply that changes in behavior have taken place among individuals, groups, organizations, government bodies, or society.
This course takes the concepts of RBM and applies them directly to the project management environment, using all the processes and methods that will help development projects achieve the desired results. It is designed for people responsible for managing or contributing to a project's results, especially project managers, team members, and program directors.
Participants will develop a comprehensive understanding of the most common principles, processes, and tools necessary for planning, implementation, monitoring, and reporting, grounded in best practices in the RBM field. With a special focus on the application of the results chain, the logical framework, and the performance measurement framework.
The online course lasts three weeks. Each week, the instructor will provide instructions to help students complete the required assignments. Students will participate in discussions and receive feedback from the course instructor; they will have access to videos, lectures, tests, and assignments available at any time. Students will follow a detailed schedule to complete the assigned activities, participate in discussion forums, and submit their exercises in order to receive a grade. Successful completion of all course requirements will result in the award of a Certificate of Completion.
About this Course
This course provides a comprehensive overview of the results-based project management (RBPM) approach, with practical applications of the tools and methods needed for planning, managing, monitoring, and evaluating development projects.

“I was slightly apprehensive about jumping into an advanced-level class instead of starting with the introductory classes. The learning curve was noticeable at the beginning, but the course instructor's regular announcements and supportive learning environment quickly brought me into the fold and I became comfortable learning from and sharing with my classmates. Rodolfo is an engaging instructor, subject expert and extremely motivating person to learn from. Big thank you for the regular and detailed feedback and professional development opportunity.
