CPD Courses in Project Management
We have a number of CPD providers that work within the project management sector and who provide project management courses. In summary, project management is the process to deliver specific objectives within a set of outlined parameters. Project management requires a specific set of skills, knowledge and expertise to ensure a deliverable is successful within a defined period of time.
The scope of a project is typically defined within a project documentation, which also provides the time in which the project should take and how much budget is available to complete the tasks. Project management can be completed either as part of a larger team or can be a project completed by one individual. The scope can vary simply on the size of the project.
The Project Management Institute explains that the project management process falls into five groups; initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and closing.
