Course Length: 2.0 days
In recent years project management skills have become
more of a general management tool than the sole preserve
of the specialist project manager. Everybody now
recognizes the importance of delivering business results to
specification, on time and within budget, and that is exactly
what project management skills enable you to do - even if it
is not officially called a 'project'.The ability to successfully
manage projects from beginning to end, no matter their
size, is a highly desirable skill.
Utilizing PMBOK, a global set of benchmarks, this Project
Management workshop will give participants an overview of
the entire project management process, as well as key
project management tools that can be used every day.
This dynamic training course is available now throughout
the US, including Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Charlotte,
Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, Manhattan, Miami, Orlando,
Philadelphia, and Seattle.
