Overview

As organizations mature in their project management approach, project managers need to be continually introduced to the latest concepts. The content is cutting edge and is relevant across all industries. Portfolio and program management, and management of complex projects and people is covered extensively together with an examination of the knowledge areas in relation to real day to day problems faced by senior project managers. Aspects of leadership and other attributes needed to manage complexity are discussed along with roles and responsibilities.
