The Project Management for Non-Project Managers Workshop aims to provide non-project managers with the project management knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to make the transition to a project leadership role and ensure optimum project execution while increasing the confidence to manage a project through the project stages of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, and completing.
