Project Management Principles: Capitalizing on Critical Skills featuring Lee R. Lambert, PMP, PMI Fellow (2009)
In today's fast paced, limited resources Get R Dun environment the Project Management process is the conduit to effective communication, team work and project delivery. The PM process does not guarantee success, but when utilized by an informed project management professional the powerful, insightful and timely decision support information that is generated as a natural output of the process will dramatically improve the odds of a successful project, regardless of the industry or application area.
This course is designed to educate and ultimately improve an individual's on-the-job performance while the organization reaps the benefits of the power of PM. This course has something for everyone. The novice will be exposed to the key elements, tools and techniques of PM while the experienced practitioner will be given opportunities to reconfirm the depth of their knowledge AND--through the use of case studies and exercises--to test their ability to apply that knowledge in a constructive and productive way. Upon completion of this course the student will have a thorough understanding of the PM concepts and the advantages and benefits they provide.
