Companies now recognize the value of project management as a way to achieve greater organizational performance. Project success certainly depends on the proper application of project management tools and techniques. At the same time, the managerial skills of the professional project manager are equally or perhaps even more important. Students in this course focus on the soft skills that a professional project manager needs to effectively manage and communicate with internal and external project stakeholders. Topics include project management knowledge areas covering Human Resource, Procurement, Communications, and Stakeholder Management.
