You’ll learn to:

  • Understand key project management principles
  • Recognize the stages of a project and the inputs/outputs at each phase
  • Use performance indicators to track and steer progress
  • Take timely action to keep projects on track
  • Identify what to repeat and what to avoid in future projects
