It’s easy to think of project management as some specialized magic that only certified project managers possess, but the truth is, we all manage projects at one time or another. If you’ve ever coordinated an event or activity with a defined start and end date, then you, too, have managed a project, even if you didn’t realize it at the time. In this course, instructor Dana Brownlee shows how project management skills can help you to become a better, more effective leader and make a measurable impact in the new world of work.

Learn specific tactics and techniques based on project management principles and strategies. Get the skills you need to develop a schedule with realistic estimates, analyze risk, design a kickoff meeting, delegate tasks, elicit effective status updates, and build a strong team culture. Dana helps you understand more about how to leverage your new skills in an increasingly challenging virtual or hybrid workplace.
