Project Management

A large proportion of projects that are started end up being abandoned, and of those that are completed, a significant percentage either exceed the deadline, the budget, or both. No matter how well structured a project is, its success depends on the involvement of each of its participants.

This course is designed to help participants identify effective solutions for optimizing project management so that they can deliver quality results on time and within budget, while maintaining performance and competitiveness in an increasingly challenging business environment.
