Project Management Fundamentals

Professionals with project management skills are increasingly in demand. A recent report* indicates that not only skilled Project Managers are going to have more jobs to choose from, they will also be able to pick and choose the jobs they take, because demand will remain higher than supply for a long time to come.

This is great news for future project professionals.

Projects are now an essential component of how we work today, and this course is designed to teach participants the language, terminology, structures, and tools that are the hallmarks of modern project management.

This project management fundamentals short course is designed for people who want to quickly and efficiently learn the important principles of project management and how to apply them.

You will learn the basics in the project life cycle, from scoping and planning the project, through delivering and monitoring, and close with the finalisation and evaluation. This course gives you a solid, fundamental knowledge of how to lead projects that deliver.
