About the Course:
Whether it’s a marketing campaign, a sales proposal, the development of a new product, or the installation of a new information system, most work today has a beginning and an end, requires clearly defined goals and objectives, comes with a predetermined and limited budget of money and resources, and almost always involves coordinating the efforts and time of other people - by any definition, that’s a project.
Until now, the tools to manage projects have been reserved for large construction efforts or national defense projects.
