Why is Project Management important?
Advanced Project Management is what brings leadership and direction to every working project. It provides motivation, inspiration, and vision to the working team, which leads to a successful project.
Without a proper project management plan, the team is exposed to poor management, unclear objectives, and unrealistic planning. This leads to poor quality project deliverables, going over budget, and delivering late. Project Management is all about using effective tools and techniques that deliver high-quality products and services on time. The project manager needs to coordinate and motivate the team, manage the resources and make sure they meet the deadlines.
This course provided the participants with extensive knowledge about these tools and techniques. It also included skills to control and monitor the progressing project, in order for it to be successful. The Advanced Project Management course was conducted for the Ministry of Agriculture in Sudan, in the Arabic language.
