Project Management skills


Most people involved in projects are not ‘pure’ project managers, but users, business analysts, programmers, testing specialists and product managers, among others. Their contributions to projects are essential.

The purpose of this course is to analyse projects from the perspective of those players in projects, who are not full time project managers. Exercises and case studies are used to ensure the effectiveness of the training.
