Introduction to the course
In today’s world, where projects are growing in size and complexity at an exponential rate, the importance of mastering project management is now more crucial than ever before. With the implementation of cutting-edge technologies, development of multi-national collaborations and the demand for increased levels in production, safety and quality previously considered unachievable, the way in which projects are managed has had to take a quantum leap forward.
