This course is practical and comprehensive, based on proven Project Management Institute (PMI) best practices.  First an overview is provided of all the fundamental PM concepts.  Then the critically important role of the Project Manager and the keys to team management are described.  Then the specific actions you need to take at each step are explained in an easy to follow thread.  The use of software tools to support the process is explained.  Practical exercises are provided to give you useful skills you can apply right away.  At the end of the course, you will not only understand project management, you will be able to implement it in the most efficient and practical way we know how.
