Project Management Jumpstart Program

Deliver projects on time and on budget with proven skills, tools and techniques to jumpstart your project management knowledge.

Research shows that less than two-thirds of projects meet their deadlines and budgets. That is why the last decade has seen a push for project management standards and best practices. The Project Management Institute (PMI)® has had a major impact on bringing standards and best practices to the project management profession while at the same time has seen a rise in the “accidental project manager,”  These are professionals who do not have project management titles, but are increasingly being asked to carry out common project management responsibilities. Whether you are new to project management or are a seasoned professional, our Project Management Jumpstart Program is designed to help you achieve higher levels of project success. We provide a thorough foundation of knowledge based in industry-proven standards and best practices. You will learn immediately applicable project management techniques, while working towards the industry’s highly-regarded Project Management Professional (PMP)® certification. This program will cover:

  • Stakeholder analysis
  • Defining project scope to avoid scope creep
  • Managing risk and the critical path to your project’s delivery
