Project Management Fundamentals
Projects are proven to be a most effective way of delivering unique elements of work to produce outputs and outcomes.

Drawing on a range of current project management methodologies, the course covers all phases of the project lifecycle. You’ll gain insight and develop foundation skills in project scoping and planning, budget preparation, stakeholder management, schedule management, and project performance measurement.
