Course Overview
Learn how to effectively analyze, plan, execute, and manage projects that consistently accomplish company objectives
Did you know only 2.5% of companies successfully complete 100% of their projects?
You read that right … only 2.5%!
And if that wasn’t bad enough, consider this:
- The average cost overrun of any given project is 27%
- 57% of projects fail due to breakdowns in communication
- 39% of projects fail due to lack of planning, resources, and activities
- 51% of organizations have no project management training program in place
- Fewer than one-third of projects are successfully completed in a given year
Alarming statistics, wouldn’t you agree?
Hard to believe this could be the case when a staggering 97% of organizations believe project management is critical to business success.
So the question then becomes …
Are you doing everything in your power to successfully manage your projects?
Because here’s the rub …
If you’re not managing your projects correctly, you’re not only setting yourself up for failure, you’re also wasting precious time, money, and resources doing things ineffectively … and likely damaging your company in the process.
So how exactly can you manage projects effectively and efficiently to make sure they come out successful each and every time?
Well, that’s exactly what we’re going to cover in this course.

Good overviews on each of the phases of managing projects. Several good points made throughout on specific topics. This is a good short introduction to the basic tenants of project management and is good for someone without a lot of skill and practice in managing projects.
