Project management is the application of knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to project activities to meet project requirements.

Project management is accomplished through the appropriate application of the 47 project management processes categorized into five process groups: Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling and Closing. 

This course is a unique experience to understand and experiment these processes. It will provide key practical knowledge for managers to help them to review project plans and project execution reports.

This course provides managers practical knowledge to allow them to plan projects and to control project execution. It provides also a learning experience in order to make students accept and retain the principal ideas and the philosophy behind.
