Course Requirements
This course builds on a foundational understanding of project management principles. Participants are expected to be familiar with the key knowledge areas—such as scope, time, cost, quality, risk, and stakeholder management—as well as the main project management processes. These include developing a project charter, defining objectives, and preparing a high-level project plan.
