Project Management: Strategy Essentials

Project Management: Strategy Essentials introduces students to the technical and interpersonal skills necessary to master the basic theory and practice of project management. Students will gain direct experience using appropriate tools and techniques that will successfully execute a project from initiation through completion, including the knowledge and insight to meet and embrace challenges inherent in project management. Unlike many foundational programs, students will be exposed to many of the “soft skills” inherent in successful project execution, such as communication, interpersonal relationships, and problem-solving. Students will also develop and deepen their understanding of the strategic, leadership, human resources, and operational aspects of project management. The certificate introduces the concepts of the Project Management Institute (PMI)® -sponsored PMBOK® Guide as well as addresses the practical issues integral to achieving success. Participants will individualize their program by choosing from electives focused on different aspects of project management. Professionals will earn PMI® PDUs for the completion of each class.
