Project Management Foundations

Overview

Based on the project-orientation of most organizational initiatives, the ability to successfully manage projects has therefore emerged as one of the most critical capabilities that an organization must possess to remain successful. Despite the importance of solid project management skills, most project managers are forced to learn on the job, which is typically a very risky, costly, and inefficient way to learn.

Project Management Foundations is designed for participants interested in entering the field of project management or for current project managers who desire to supplement their experience with formalized education and training. This course covers the subjects that a project manager must know in order to plan, schedule, and control a project. The primary objective of this course is to help project managers develop the skills and knowledge needed to be able to successfully meet their project objectives on time and on budget. The course engages participants in activities related to traditional and agile project management methodologies, as well as project leadership skills. 

Upon completion of the course, students will be awarded 13.5 PDUs by the Project Management Institute (PMI)®.
