Much of the work that you do can be organized as a project. The ability to successfully define and subsequently manage a project is quickly leaving the realm of the extraordinary and is becoming a core competency for many organizations. Managing a project is not easy and project management skills do not come naturally to many people. Fortunately, the skills associated with defining and managing a project can be learned. Understanding and practicing the concepts taught in this class increases the likelihood of success on the project.

This course is built on the powerful TenStep methodology, presented in the logical sequence of a complete basic corporate project life span. The basic TenStep methodology has been expanded to encompass all nine areas of the Project Management Body of Knowledge espoused by the Project Management Institute, USA.
