What you'll learn:

The most important part of successfully completing projects, relies not only on procedures and techniques, but on the people involved in the project. The Project Manager course focuses on one very important person and the roles and responsibilities of that person: the project manager. The project manager is the one person that’s critical to accomplishing the project objective, and the procedures and techniques are merely tools that help project managers perform their duties.
