The Essential Principles of Project Management

Project management is a broad and often misunderstood function. Although most organizations have at least some sort of formal project management standards, few achieve consistent and successful results. Missing deadlines and going over budget are commonplace, rather than the exception. Now, more than ever, it is critical to get products to market faster, cheaper, and more efficiently while making sure the quality is not compromised.

This audio conference explains the very basic fundamentals of project management. Our speaker provides a systematic approach to identifying, defining, executing – and most importantly – achieving consistent and successful results in project deliverables. Project management is a broad and potentially overwhelming topic. This audio conference drills down to the most basic and fundamental ways to quickly achieve project success.

• Defining a project and project management
• The role of the project manager
• The project management lifecycle
• Project management processes
