Managing Projects Successfully – in company training
“Operations keeps the lights on, strategy provides a light at the end of the tunnel, but project management is the train engine that moves the organization forward.”
Joy Gumz
Whether we realize it or not, project management has become a part of our lives. It is no longer restricted to managing complex tasks at work but also takes the shape of planning a birthday party at home or buying groceries from your task list.
However, managing projects tends to be a daunting task and a multi-faceted affair. It requires a deep level of understanding of project planning, scheduling, reporting, tracking, and importance of project management.
To become an effective project manager, you need to develop the right understanding of project success factors, your roles and job description, and the significance of project phases. Equally important, you need to acquire a specific skillset and mindset to manage your projects with confidence. And this is precisely what this training course is designed to help you accomplish.
