As the business world grows more competitive, and the economy increasingly uncertain, organizations find it necessary to take on an increasing number of projects. Unfortunately, these same organizations often don’t have skilled project managers to handle the work. In this training, you will learn and practice the latest tools and techniques necessary for project management success. In lectures, discussions and exercises, you’ll cover every aspect of managing projects.

While aligned with the Project Management Institute’s (PMI) framework, this course is specifically designed to focus on the practical application of concepts. You’ll return to work with the knowledge and tools you need to get your projects started right and completed successfully.
