Introduction

A project is any work that is intended to create beneficial change - a unique product or knowledge. It can be as simple as organizing a one-day event or as complex as implementing a new business process. Organisations initiate projects on a regular basis and require skilled individuals to deliver them successfully.  

This course aims to provide candidates with the required skills to apply theoretical concepts of project management and build on acquired knowledge, skills, and competencies. To further enable candidates to use project management techniques to plan and control their work to deliver a product or service successfully. 

In this course you will learn to:

  • Develop a project plan and use project management tools. 
  • To evaluate the roles and interests of stakeholders.
  • Recognising factors that influence project activities on a broader scale.
  • Communicate effectively to manage project plans.
  • Work effectively with others (team members, organisation, community etc) when planning of the project.

As Project Manager one has the overall responsibility for coordinating a project and to ensure desired results come in on time and within budget. Therefore, it is essential for one to have the appropriate set of skills to accomplish this.
