BP113 Project Execution and Management

About This Course

Once the project planning process is complete, it is time to implement. Effectively executing and managing a project requires establishing and motivating a team, working closely with stakeholders, and paying attention to all the factors that make a project successful.

This project management training course offers a detailed look at how to direct and manage the project work, including project execution, monitoring and control, and closeout. Students will learn how to monitor a project, with special attention on handling issues and change gracefully; and learn how projects should be successfully closed. Endings are often as important as beginnings. A short introduction to adaptive project management, with emphasis on Agile/Scrum, will also be taught.
