Course Description
This professional development course is aimed at people who need to use project management skills and tools but who aren’t project managers. Participants interested in learning about project management at an introductory level, or who have been asked to manage a project but don’t really know how, will benefit from this course. This course provides an introduction to the components, processes, tools and activities for planning, implementing and managing a project. We will emphasize the use of practical approaches and tools for participants to be able to use once they have completed the course.
