The Professional Engineer's Project Management

Course overview

The most important person in a project is the engineer. Effective project management is essential to a project’s success. Effective project management must begin on the day the project is launched, and project managers are not the only ones who must strive to make the project successful.

The project would undoubtedly succeed if the engineers working on it had a solid understanding of project management.

Participants understanding of the project management process and other related knowledge areas will improve after taking this Training Bee training course. By covering every facet of projects and project management, this course aims to increase the role responsibility of the engineers working on them.
