SUMMARY:Oregon Bio Project Management: Foundations and Best Practices – Online
DESCRIPTION:This course introduces students to the foundations of successful project management\, especially in a technology environment. Students will learn key project management concepts\, then immediately apply them in a hands-on team simulation. This course approaches project management from the standpoint of managing a single\, stand-alone project that is small to medium in size. It takes students through the project life cycle in the same sequence they would face when managing a real project in the workplace. \nBy the end of this class\, you will understand how to manage a project from beginning to successful completion. \nThis course takes place over four half-day sessions. Training Dates are February 15\, 16\, 22 and 23\, 8 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
