September 22, 2020 @ 8:00 am - 12:30 pm

Training Dates: September 21, 22, 28 and 29, 8 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Overview:
This course introduces students to the foundations of successful project management, especially in a technology environment. Students will learn key project management concepts, then immediately apply them in a hands-on team simulation. This course approaches project management from the standpoint of managing a single, stand-alone project that is small to medium in size. It takes students through the project life cycle in the same sequence they would face when managing a real project in the workplace.
By the end of this class, you will understand how to manage a project from beginning to successful completion.
