Project Management Essentials
Renowned Project Management expert Cornelius Fichtner once said, “The ‘P’ is a much about ‘People’ management as it is about ‘Project’ management.” A project can be differentiated from ongoing business operations in that it is a “a temporary endeavor to create a unique product or service.” (Chatfield and Johnson, 2000) Within this short definition can be found the basic “project triangle:” time, cost, and performance. In this course, you will explore the “art” of project management – the continual balancing of these three areas throughout the process of planned and unplanned events to arrive at a successful completion.
Program Deliverables:

management/project teams.
