Nearly everything we do in our professional and personal lives is a project. Whether it is rolling out a new product or initiative, collaborating on a team, or planning a vacation, a good understanding of how to deliver a project on time, within the budget, and within scope is the formula for success. Managing projects requires the ability to set clear objectives, report, project plan, work collaboratively and control project outcomes. This certificate program will build your understanding of project management methods.
After completing this program, participants will have the ability to:
1. Define project management.
2. Develop a working definition of project management.
3. Learn the five project process groups: initiate, plan, execute, monitor and control, close.
4. Apply project management processes to a project as a project manager or project team member.
5. Practice using tools and techniques within the project process groups.
