Course description

One of the most challenging responsibilities of Project Engineers /Managers in every project is managing the competing constraints of scope, schedule, cost and quality in meeting project goals. Since each project is unique, the approach to managing these constraints may vary depending on the stakeholder’s needs, environmental factors, organizational structure, and other relevant project parameters. This course will provide the appropriate project management processes, tools and techniques in addressing these concerns based on the standards presented by the Project Management Institute (PMI).

This course encompasses the five (5) project management process groups of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and control, and closing within the nine (9) knowledge areas of Integration, Scope, Schedule, Cost, Quality, Human Resource, Communication, Risk, and Procurement Management.
