Project Management Skills for Non-Project Managers

About this course:

A project is temporary in that it has a defined beginning and end in time, and therefore defined scope and resources. And a project is unique in that it is not a routine operation, but a specific set of operations designed to accomplish a singular goal. So, a project team often includes people who don’t usually work together – sometimes from different organizations and across multiple geographies. Project management, then, is the application of knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to project activities to meet the project requirements. In this course, those of you who are not professional project managers will learn the fundamentals of project management. You will learn how to incorporate established project management processes into the organization, making the most of your skills and experience and allowing employers to develop management and leadership skills from within. This course also helps students in the preparation for Project Management Professional (PMP)® exam.

The average salary for a Project Manager is $80,854 per year.
