Projects are at the heart of an organization's life. Whether it is to carry out a specific project for a client, develop a new product or modify existing work methods, efficient project management is the key to achieve your goals. Should you use an agile methodology or lean towards a more traditional approach to manage your project? Should you use a tool or not? Should you monitor risks or quality? How far should you be tracking schedule and costs? This training reviews the foundation of project management by covering the essential elements of successful project execution. Learn the methods and processes needed to manage the planning, execution, monitoring, and closure of projects of all sizes, and get the opportunity to apply key concepts by working in teams on a fictitious project.
