Running a business involves juggling many projects, but many SMEs don’t have anyone on staff with formal Project Management (PM) training. Project Management Lite will help you learn to apply PM principles to increase your success.

This two-part course will cover everything from defining your scope, estimating work and costs, establishing a plan, initiating the project, using metrics to track your progress, and harvesting lessons-learned at closing.

By the end of this workshop you will be able to:

• Recognize key PM concepts

• Understand the different stages of a project, and the inputs/outputs needed at each stage

• Identify metrics for tracking progress

• Analyze project performance and determine required actions

• Evaluate what went well and should be repeated, and what went wrong and should be avoided
