Fundamentals of Project Management
This two-day hands-on workshop provides students with a strong foundation of project management within the best practices of the Project Management Institute and the PMBOK. This course covers the process groups: initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing and the nine best practice knowledge areas: time, cost, human resources, procurement, risk, communications, quality, and integration. If you are new to project management, you will learn the foundation that makes the difference between success and failure.
If you have been managing projects but are not familiar with how to apply pratically the new PMBOK (Third Edition), then this workhop is also of value to you.
