introduction

This course is designed specifically for project management professionals. The assumption made here is that project management professionals here could mean project managers, project leads, project supervisors and project team members with minimum 5 years project experience. These professionals work with project teams on projects in a project environment and are not certified yet as project management professionals.

It is also assumed that these project management professionals may have a lot of experience in project management principles or practices as they may be working in project environments for a few years.
