Project management


Projects are at the heart of any organization or institution. Whether it is to carry out a specific project for work or for school, develop a new product, or modify existing work methods, effective project management is essential to achieving your goals. Should you use an agile methodology or lean towards a more traditional approach to manage your project? Which tool should you use? Which risks do you need to consider? Which stakeholders will have an impact? How will you measure success? 

 

This workshop reviews the foundations of project management by exploring the essential elements of a successful process. Learn the methods and tools needed to manage the planning, execution, monitoring, and closure of projects of all sizes. Through collaborative team activities, you will have the opportunity to apply key project management concepts.
