Project Management: Planning, Scheduling, and Control (Online)
Project managers have much to think about—from project scope to team member dynamics, from schedule to cost constraints, from dealing with executive stakeholders to identifying future state requirements.
In this online, foundational program, you’ll gain an applied and effective overview of project management and techniques that will help you plan, implement, and complete projects of all sizes with desired results, on time and within budget.
Over four weeks, you will learn how to assess and improve your project management system, manage scope change, and understand the roles and responsibilities of a successful project manager. Each module consists of self-study pre-work and exercises, a live 2-hour, instructor-led, interactive learning session, and post-session skill application and reflection exercises.
Who Should Attend
New and experienced project managers; program managers; project team leaders who initiate, plan, and manage projects; project team members who are interested in enhancing their careers by preparing to become certified PMPs.
This program is also offered in-person. Learn More »
