A3 Advanced Practical Application Project Management

Course Introduction

Project management practical application requires familiarity with core foundation knowledge and tools use. Another important element is the transference of tools and techniques into feasible procedures and forms. These can help project team members heighten communication effectiveness in project planning and execution.

At the same time, standard procedures and documents can facilitate systematic categorization and management of project records, reports and files. This can in turn facilitate the development of a project information system, which can quickly turn data from documents and forms into effective management information.

This course emphasizes the processes, forms and tools required for practical project management application. Students will do course exercises and presentations based on own work case studies. This will help them quickly and effectively transfer learned skills into real work.

This course is suitable for those who have had project management core foundation or PMP training, especially those who really want to transfer training to real work application.
