INTRODUCTION

Project Management is the application of concepts, and techniques to maximize project success. Projects are critical to the success of any organization, and are defined as a set of processes performed within a specified scope to achieve a goal within a specified time, budget, quality, and resources. Conflict is an inevitable consequence of project work as there is constant pressure to achieve targets within strict time and resource constraints.

TRAINING SUMMARY

This programme addresses both the “hard” skills and the “soft” skills needed by project managers to plan and control projects. The “hard” skills are the technical issues related to planning and managing a project, while the “soft” skills deal with the human issues.

The goal of this programme is to assist organizations in developing project managers who are aware of the strategic importance that project management plays in the achievement of the mission of their organization, and their role in leading the way to better performance and profits.
