Training in Project Management

The argument in favor of using filler text goes something like this: If you use real content in the Consulting Process, anytime you reach a review point you’ll end up reviewing and negotiating the content itself and not the design.

Why Study Project Management ?

According to a Gartner report, the project failure rate is roughly 50%. The reason for such a staggering figure is that most projects are subjected to unrealistic planning, poor prioritization, and inefficient resource allocation. These are common elements that contribute to project failures, coercing project managers into building efficient workflows. More efficient workflows mean minimizing operational costs and maximizing productivity. Therefore, it’s important to understand the importance of project management and how to implement it successfully.

Project Management has various advantages that aid in the streamlining of project activities, the reduction of potential hazards, and the improvement of project performance. It enables you to allocate resources, tasks, and accountability effectively ensuring that issues such as scope, budget, and time are not compromised. When done right, a well-balanced workflow can help your business achieve goals, increase Return On Investment (ROI), as well as scale.
