Project Management Essentials

Projects are important for the vast majority of organizations. Project managers, project owners and project team members with the necessary project management expertise and skills are crucial if projects are to succeed. Experience indicates, however, that projects often fail to deliver the expected outcomes – generally because good project management practice has not been applied. This course is an introduction to the most important and fundamental factors for successful projects and project management.
