Foundations of Project Management

This course starts by examining (project) managers’ roles and responsibilities from the initiation of a project. When dealing with senior (accidental) project leaders or the next generation of project and program leaders who are driving innovations and tackling complex challenges, we need to elaborate on possible scenarios when planning a project. Students are mostly coming out of their BS studies with little or no (project) management experience. Providing a comprehensive guide on how to gather customers’ requirements of a large and complex project, wisely planning the complete lifecycle of a multi-million-dollar program, and helping project stakeholders (and leadership) recognize the execution of a value stream roadmap using the latest frameworks, tools, and techniques is a daunting task.

We provide short snippets of topics, and how the next generation of scientists would acquire and consciously blend various artistic “human” talents requires careful engagement of all hands on deck! Attendees will be equipped with both the arts and the science of project management, enabling them to bring cross-functional professionals together to create customer-required values. Our expert instructors and trainers have been providing customized Project Management Fundamental courses and workshops since 2019, including graduate-level and certificate-mandated courses.
