Project management

Learn project management fundamentals and improve your productivity and performance.

You will learn to:

• Prepare key elements of the project management plan (PMP) for the entire project cycle featuring both “hard” and “power soft skills” following a model project and soft skill checklist.
• Create key process documents, including the business or needs analysis case, project objectives and scope, project requirements, project risk register, stakeholder register, WBS, reporting, and close-out documents.
• Skill building to market ideas and pitch a project.
• Learn how projects support the organization’s strategic plan from the vision statement organization goals to KPIs (key performance indicators) and supporting OKRs (objectives and key results).
• Guide a project through the close-out process watching out for common mistakes.

In addition, you’ll receive a copy of Your Winning Project, a practical step-by-step guide to preparing your own project management plan, for immediate reference on the job site.

A key deliverable is a project model for future reference for all your projects.

Note: Our project management courses count toward your PMP certification credits. However, we don’t offer a PMP certification program through Professional Development and Training.
