Project management is a vital skill for many supervisory and managerial positions, not limited to professionals with the job title "Project Manager".

Organisations value project management because it ensures that team deliverables are aligned with the organisation’s strategic objectives. It ensures effective leadership across functions, along with clear communication and engagement with key stakeholders. Additionally, it promotes realistic planning, integrated risk and change management, and continuous monitoring and control.

This course is designed to provide you with the knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques of project management. It is based on the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK) developed by the Project Management Institute (PMI).

Topics covered include project management principles and the project life cycle, encompassing the five major process groups: initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing. The course will delve into knowledge areas such as project integration, scope, schedule, cost, quality, and resource management. Additionally, it explores communications, procurement, risks, and stakeholder management.

By the end of the course, you will walk away with a comprehensive understanding of project management concepts, methodologies, tools, templates, as well as the latest advancements in the field. The course will also explore pertinent case studies, enhancing your ability to apply this knowledge effectively to your own projects.
