Project Management

Project management is the business discipline of planning, organising, securing and managing resources to achieve specific goals.  A project is often a temporary endeavour with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables), undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change or added value.

Projects go through a number of phases and managing its progress effectively is critical to ensure it all runs smoothly.  Every project you manage will be unique; scope, budgets, team dynamics and timeframes will differ.  As a project manager, the most important factor in achieving project success will be your understanding of all the critical aspects of successful project management, not only the technical aspects but also importantly the management and motivation of all stakeholders and the successful navigation of the change process.  This course will enable you to deliver projects on time and on budget, again and again.
