Managing a successful project involves more than theories, schedules and templates. It requires strong interpersonal management skills and an appreciation of the interaction between projects and the organisation they transform. In addition to the essential techniques required by project managers, this course therefore equips you with the broader knowledge you need to lead successful projects, big and small. 

The Fundamentals of Project Management addresses the following topics:

• Introduction to the Project Manager’s toolkit
• Effective communication
• Project initiation
• Project planning and scheduling
• Understanding resources and the supply chain
