This course is the "missing toolkit" for truly effective, everyday project management!
From managing team members and communicating with stakeholders, to dealing with deadlines and battling budgets, project management is challenging … even under the best circumstances. Whether you are new to project management or have been working for years as a PM but with no formal training, this class will empower you! Learn a foundational project management methodology that will enable you to become a more efficient and effective project manager.
