This introductory level short course in project management introduces students with little-to-no formal project management training to the professional project management framework applied to run projects in their work environment. The emphasis is on introducing the framework and terminology, teamwork and organization concepts, and basic tools and techniques for starting and running simple projects through in-class examples using a custom workbook (included with the course fee - no other textbooks required). Little to no prior experience with managing projects is expected, so it is an excellent introduction to the subject for new team leaders and participants who need to get started quickly and expect to pursue professional certification later.
