“Work mixed with Management becomes not only easier but more profitable!” – Henry Ford
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The rising importance of project management as an essential capability for business makes it increasingly vital for many management positions, not just those with the title of “project manager”.
Having a mix of project management skill sets and tools will enable you to create an environment that leads to success.

You will be analyzing a real-world case study, discuss projects from your own organization, and review tools and templates we use every day to manage real projects. The course is designed for anyone with an active interest in project management.
This training course will help you to build the skills to keep your projects on task, on time and on budget, by providing you with an overview of the project management process — from planning to execution — and equipping you with project management techniques and the knowledge to understand project complexity and achieve success in your business field.
