Overview
Having to manage your projects within very tight budget and time constraints while meeting and exceeding the expectations of your customers is the norm these days. Therefore, you can no longer manage your projects using the same methodologies you applied 10 years ago; you must re-think your approach to managing projects if you want to overcome project crises and accelerate project success.
Projects span every department in organizations including IT, Manufacturing, Finance, Human Resources, and so on. One project is often a part of a larger program. Creating new products, services, technology and other types of projects will benefit through a Hybrid Project Management approach; by combining the Waterfall and Agile approaches to your projects. This will help you to accelerate their success. Project management training that focuses on these global best practices provides a high return on investment and increases a project’s effectiveness and efficiency while ensuring that the project meets all business and customer requirements successfully.
