IN SUMMARY: ADVANCED PROJECT MANAGEMENT

It’s easy to forget the “manager” part of your “project manager” title among the other range of activities you are responsible for. However, your management skills are an important part of your success as a project manager, so it is crucial that you grow both of those skill sets. There are also some advanced project management techniques that you can master to help bring your projects to successful completion.

Advanced Project Management provide participants with the critical final tools, skills and techniques that project members and emerging project managers need. Participants should already have a thorough understanding of project management, including topics such as preparing a statement of work, setting project goals, scheduling, budgeting, managing project risks, and executing a project found in URG’s Project Management Fundamentals and Intermediate Project Management training.
