PJM122 - Project Leadership and Communication
Master the skills required to lead your project team and effectively communicate with all stakeholders.
Course Overview
The successful project manager is as skillful with people as they are with project management tools and project-specific content. Effectively leading the project team and communicating with all stakeholders—either on the project team or impacted by the project scope—are key skills project managers must develop and practice to ensure project success. This course focuses on people management skills and the processes for effectively managing project communications: leading the project team, identifying stakeholders, planning and distributing information, and managing stakeholder expectations.
