Whether you are remodeling your basement, coordinating a social event, or managing a new software release, the competencies and skills of project management are the same. Everyone manages projects at least part-time. In fact, many people in an organization do not have a job; rather, they pursue a number of projects. This course will help you carry out your projects productively with proper planning, scheduling, and monitoring. The complex tools you've heard about in project management are refreshingly absent. The process is simple, and the tools presented do not presume any prior knowledge of the subject. Questionnaires, checklists, and worksheets are provided.
