Description

As the saying goes, “A chain is as strong as its weakest link.” Most organizations only offer their project management education and training to project managers.

However, the professionals who do most of the tactical work – the team members—are typically left out.

A common explanation for this is that the average project team member does not need to be taught the fundamentals of effective project management. The end result can be summarized as: highly trained captains with poorly trained troops. Organizations intent on delivering world-class products must educate the entire project team. This course delivers the education designed to equip you with the tools and techniques to be a high-value project team member.
