4 hr Program Online WORKSHOP - Introduction to Project Management with Syed Hussain
This 4-hour workshop introduces students to the fundamental principles of project management, taking them through the journey from an initial project idea to planning, execution, monitoring, and successful closure. The class covers key topics such as defining project objectives and scope, developing a work breakdown structure (WBS), creating schedules, estimating costs and resources, managing stakeholders, identifying risks, communicating effectively, and controlling changes.
