" Management so detailed...What a great surprise!"

" I feel accomplished...What a wonderful privilege!"

" Great lesson...Excellent explanation!"

This free online course for project managers introduces the four phases of project management and includes an expected time worksheet. The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals and objectives while honoring the project constraints. Typical constraints are scope, time and budget. The secondary—and more ambitious—challenge is to optimize the allocation and integration of inputs necessary to meet pre-defined objectives. A project is a carefully defined set of activities that use resources (money, people, materials, energy, space, provisions, communication, motivation, etc.) to achieve the project goals and objectives. this project management training course will help the student develop these skills.

Plenty of practice situations, drag-and-drop interactive choices, and feedback allow you to engage the concepts and remain fairly active throughout.

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.

LatitudeU's trainging partner, SkillSoft, is a PMI® registered education provider.
LatitudeU offers SkillSoft courses that will prepare individuals for two of PMI®'s globally recognized certifications for project management, the Project Management Professional (PMP®), and the Certified Associate of Project Management (CAPM®). The Program Management Professional (PgMPSM) courseware provides an overview of the certification.

This article analyzes data on the earnings and occupations of workers 1 and 10 years after college graduation, by field of major. The first section compares earnings across all majors. A second section highlights 11 degree fields and shows the most common occupations of workers who have a bachelor’s degree in those fields. The final section suggests additional resources.
