Workshop on Project Management - 03 August 2019

As you move ahead in your career, you are likely to face more complex and difficult challenges. Some of these may involve the coordination of many different people, the completion of many tasks in a precise sequence, and the expenditure of a great deal of time and money. You can do this well, or you can do it badly. If you do this well, you'll complete your projects on time, and with minimal wastage of resources. This will build your reputation as a competent, successful manager. If you do this badly, you'll lose this reputation, and your career will most-likely stall.
