The Fundamentals of Managing Projects

From managing team members to dealing with deadlines and battling budgets, project management is challenging under the best circumstances. For the nearly 50% of PMs working without the proper tools and training, it can feel impossible.

Warm and Inclusive.

The class atmosphere was so inclusive! I often attend classes and don't have a sense of belonging, but did not experience that with this class. It was interactive rather than a lecture. Our instructor knew when to let us discuss ideas vs. "instructing" us. Persimmon knocked it out of the park!

Impactful.

I love that the same concepts can be used by people from different industries, education or experience, with such diverse job titles and on an endless amount of short or long-term projects. Thank you so much!
