| Overview: | Ever stop and think that maybe all that talk in the next cubicle about hammocks, forward passes and child activities might not be about what your colleagues did over the weekend?

This 1-day course covers everything you'll need to participate in the project management process, including the significance of effective project management, important tools and techniques, and how your role can affect future project management results.
