Program Description

Project man­age­ment has become a crit­i­cal skill in every work­place. Man­agers need the tools, tech­niques, and knowl­edge to han­dle projects and deliv­er suc­cess­ful out­comes. Whether you are man­ag­ing small or large projects, learn how to plan, exe­cute, con­trol, and most impor­tant­ly, deliv­er results.

 

Through a set of three two-day work­shops, you will work through an entire case to learn prac­ti­cal skills and knowl­edge that can imme­di­ate­ly apply to your cur­rent projects. Cours­es cov­er project man­age­ment prin­ci­ples, project scope, doc­u­men­ta­tion, esti­mat­ing and bud­get­ing, sched­ul­ing, resource lev­el­ing, risk, man­ag­ing stake­hold­ers, and communication.
