Effective project management makes possible rapid innovation and execution, better and more efficient use of firm resources, and increased cross-functional communications. This course covers both the technical elements (e.g., scope, schedules, resource and risk management) and the socio-cultural elements (e.g., leadership, teamwork, politics) needed to become a better project manager.
