"Managing projects to completion, with an alert eye on quality, cost, and time, is something most of us need to do on an ongoing basis. In this course, we break down project management into its fundamental components and work to galvanize your understanding of the key concepts with an emphasis on practical application and execution. Since project managers spend the vast majority of their time communicating with others, we focus on traits and techniques that enable effective communication. As people are the most critical asset in the project management process , effective and thorough communication is essential." - Jeff Frisk
