Project Management Boot Camp

Summary

Leading any project can be a challenge, especially if you're new to project management. This seminar will help you make the transition to solid project leadership. Project Management Boot Camp teaches you the concepts and techniques necessary to manage a technical project. This seminar closely follows the Project Management Institute's (PMI) Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide) and shows how to apply these best practices to a typical small to medium sized software project. While this course is in alignment with the PMBOK Guide - Fifth Edition, it is not a PMP Preparation course. The purpose of this course is to help attendees understand how to use the standard PMI processes to actually manage a project.
