Project Management has become a core skill for anyone in a managerial role. As a manager, a lot of the project capabilities you need will build on your core skillset. Even if you are not doing projects, there are some fantastic tools, methods, and ideas in project management that will serve you well as a manager. Probably the single most compelling reason why you need to treat it as a core competency is simple. Increasingly we can see a professional or managerial career as nothing more nor less than a series of projects.
As you progress, you will do one project after another. In this seminar we focus on the following key areas:
• Defining Projects and Project Management vs Routine Work
• The PMI Talent Triangle of Project Management and how it impacts your success
• The Triple Constraints of Project Management
• Scope, Risk, Resources, Responsibilities, and Cost: The Key Elements of Project Planning
• Keys for successfully implementing projects
Note: Participants will receive FREE templates in Excel and MS Word that can be easily used on the job.
This course is a part of the Business Project Management Certificate Program and the Operations Management Certificate Program. Courses are open to all participants, not just those pursuing a certificate program.

Continuing Education (CE) courses and programs offered online through LSU Online & Continuing Education typically include a combination of lecture and discussion as well as reading and writing assignments. You need an adequate command of English in all skill areas (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) to participate in classes.
If English is not your native language, you must meet one of the English language proficiency requirements below to be successful in our CE programs. If you intend to register for a CE course or program, you can determine whether you meet English proficiency requirements by self-assessment prior to enrolling. We want to empower you, the learner, to progress successfully. Completing this self-assessment will enable you to make a good decision on whether you can complete one of our programs.
Intermediate English Skills

When assessing yourself, be sure to read through each of the categories under Column B2 to make sure you meet proficiency requirements.

Online Distance Learning courses and microcreds are for-credit courses and might require more advanced English skills, equivalent to a C1 level on the Learner Self-Assessment Form. Be sure to read through each of the categories under Column C1 to make sure you meet proficiency requirements.
