We’re all project managers. Who hasn’t planned a wedding, a party, or dinner? When things get more complicated, some additional skills and knowledge go a long way towards making you successful.
Project management doesn’t have to be complicated, and it doesn’t take years to learn. In this class, Andrew Laudato demystifies project management by taking you on a step-by-step journey to manage a project successfully. Mr. Laudato created templates for each of the processes, and those templates are available for download when you enroll in this class.
This course consists of:
· Lectures-where concepts are presented and explained in a slide show
· How-to videos on creating and using actual project management documents
· A case study to build a working online store
· Downloadable project management templates
· Quizzes at the end of each section
