: Course Introduction
Project management is one of the core disciplines relied upon by management professionals to ensure that projects are completed and delivered on time, with the highest quality and at the lowest possible cost. It is a managerial function that focuses on identifying project needs and objectives, preparing and monitoring project budgets, and evaluating performance in order to achieve project goals efficiently and effectively.
Project management encompasses the management of the project as a whole, including activity management, time management, cost management, quality management, human resources management, project communications management, risk management, and procurement management. A project is defined as a task undertaken to achieve specific objectives within an agreed scope, a defined timeframe, and a specified budget.
This program addresses a range of critical topics, including advanced best practices for excellence in project management, intelligent risk management in mega-projects through effective risk analysis, forecasting, and assessment, as well as sustainability in large-scale projects and the key factors of risk and success.
