Project Management Training in LatitudeU

Give your work force the tools to meet the PMP credential requirements with SkillSoft's project management solution.
Delivering the end product or service on time and on budget indicates effective project management which, in turn, is a sign of a successful business. A project management solution is important for many reasons:

• Companies need to bring new products and services to market on time and on budget
• Employees often lack the skills to ensure smooth implementation of complex projects
• Companies want to define consistent processes for project management to ensure timely execution on a global basis

Because excellent project management is so highly regarded, many corporations require employees have the Project Management Professional (PMP) credential. To be eligible for the PMP, specific education and work experience requirements must be met as well as an agreement to adhere to a code of professional conduct.
