Course Overview
In today’s increasingly matrixed work environment, managing projects that cross job functions, geographies, and seniority is increasingly commonplace. Yet it is estimated that up to 70% of projects do not meet their original objectives, stay within their defined scope, schedule or agreed-to budget.
AIM’s Project Management Fundamentals course covers an end-to-end project lifecycle based on the application of the critical knowledge areas of the Project Management Body of Knowledge – PMBoK®. It’s designed to provide you with practical, up-to-date perspective of the basics of project management and how you can use them to manage a variety of common business, and life, projects.
You will learn to scope, plan, lead and manage a project, including scheduling, budgeting and managing risk until the project closes. You’ll also address the common reasons projects fail and how to overcome them.
