Course Description

Business management is heavily defined today by stricter budgets, diminishing resources, tighter time constraints, and the competition to improve the way we conduct our operations. Projects have increasingly become the tool to translate strategies into actions and objectives into realities. Project management helps develop workers who use their skills to enhance a company's products or services. It's worth noting that the workplace in the 21st century is oriented toward projects, meaning that only the work that gets done is what matters. The essence of project management lies in supporting the execution of the organization's competitive strategy to achieve the desired results. In simple terms, execution is the gap between promises and outcomes.
