Webinar Overview

Project management principles: Many think of project management skills as only relevant if you are a project or product manager. Truth is, project management principles can be widely applied across different industries, contexts and types of projects. The speaker will highlight general project management skills that the audience can apply on a daily basis, and provide illustrative real life examples on how to effectively use them to generate the best outcomes.
