COURSE OVERVIEW

Nowadays, Project Management is not just for technical people or for people who handle technical projects. Executives from many different disciplines are attending Project Management training as they would be involved in some way in a project in their organisations as project team members or even as project leaders.

Good Project Management practices are crucial for a successful project implementation. This training module is the most basic one: it provides a good start for all those who may or may not be currently active in a project but would be in the future.

This training demonstrates the critical knowledge and skills required in Project Management. It gives participants a good idea about projects and what is expected of them. Furthermore, it introduces the right, proper and common terminologies and good practices that will help achieve project success. The training requires active participation from attendees.
