Project Management

This is an absolute-beginner-first, 6-week, 60-hour program. You start at "what is a sprint?" on Day 1 and finish leading a real one with a mid-sprint scope-change scenario, a Start/Stop/Continue retro and a recorded mock interview.

Why Project Management Skills Matter in Nepal's Job Market

• Kathmandu's growing tech, services, outsourcing and NGO ecosystem creates constant demand for PMs who can manage cross-functional delivery without senior oversight.
• Remote teams increasingly need coordination specialists who understand Agile workflow, async communication (Loom + Notion), AI-assisted drafting and stakeholder reporting.
• PM is a strong cross-industry entry point: fintech, agencies, NGOs, banking, enterprise IT, AI/ML teams.
• Industry certifications (CAPM, PSM I, PSPO I, PMI-ACP, SAFe SSM, PRINCE2) add credibility for both local and global hiring; the course maps a realistic 60-day study path toward one of them.

What You Learn in Saarathi's 6-Week PM Program

Week 1 builds the PM vocabulary + scoping toolkit (lifecycle, scope statement, change control, stakeholder map, WBS, planning poker, Gantt). Week 2 turns risk and communication into a written discipline (risk register, RACI, OKRs, RAG status reports). Week 3 is Scrum as a working system (roles, ceremonies, artefacts, DoR/DoD, INVEST stories, story points). Week 4 is Kanban + tooling muscle memory (WIP limits, cycle time, Jira configuration with JQL + automation, Notion AI for meetings, Loom async).

Week 5 is the leadership shift (Thomas-Kilmann conflict modes, servant leadership, quality gates with UAT, exec reporting, AI-assisted retros). Week 6 is the capstone: a live sprint with mid-sprint client scope change, a Start/Stop/Continue retro, a 60-day cert study plan (CAPM / PSM I / PSPO I / PMI-ACP), a CV + LinkedIn rewrite and a recorded 45-minute mock PM interview.

• Week 1: PM Fundamentals + Scope + WBS + Gantt + stakeholder mapping + planning poker + ChatGPT for scope drafts.
• Week 2: Risk register + RACI + OKRs + RAG status reports + executive comms cadence + ChatGPT for reports (verification pass).
• Week 3: Scrum roles + ceremonies + artefacts + DoR/DoD + INVEST stories + story points + velocity + Jira vs Linear + Linear AI.
• Week 4: Kanban + WIP limits + cycle time + lead time + Jira automation + Trello + Notion AI for meetings + Loom async.
• Week 5: Thomas-Kilmann conflict modes + servant leadership + quality gates + UAT + delivery metrics by audience + executive one-slide reports + AI retros.
• Week 6: Capstone sprint with mid-sprint scope change + Start/Stop/Continue retro + CAPM / PSM I / PSPO I / PMI-ACP study path + CV/LinkedIn + 45-minute mock interview + demo day.

Why Saarathi Academy for PM Training in Nepal

• Hands-on from Day 1. You configure Jira, Linear, Trello and Notion on your own accounts, run real ceremonies (even if it's a 1-person standup with yourself during self-study) and ship a real capstone sprint.
• Small batch (max 10): your sprint plans, risk registers, retrospectives and capstone get reviewed by a working PM, not buried in a grading queue.
• Mid-sprint scope-change scenario built into Week 6. Every real PM job is this moment; we make sure you have faced it before your first interview.
• AI and async patterns are treated as workflow tools with a strict PM verification pass, so you leave with the discipline, not just the shortcuts.
• Career launch support: portfolio polish, resume + LinkedIn rewrite in Nepal + remote variants, 60-day cert study plan, mock interview and hiring-network referrals.

Career Outcomes and Why This Path Is Attractive

Graduates pursue Project Coordinator, Junior PM, Associate Scrum Master and Associate PO roles. These exist in tech, agencies, NGOs, banking, enterprise IT and AI/ML teams. The PM skill set is genuinely cross-industry and one of the most transferable career paths in Nepal.

Pay scales with your skills, portfolio, certifications, and whether you work locally or for international/remote clients. We don't promise a salary.
