COURSE DESCRIPTION
Effective project management depends on teams to carry out the project tasks. Projects are carried out through teams. Managing the people side of projects is often as
challenging as mastering the technical aspects. Meeting project objectives is complicated by the development
of virtual teams where members are geographically dispersed, increasingly diverse teams where members
have different cultural backgrounds, and project stakeholders (e.g., clients, customers, etc.) with conflicting
interests.
This two-day course covers alternative approaches to project management including tools and techniques that
project managers can use. Topics such as communication, team selection, team dynamics, motivation, and
leadership are covered. The participants develop an understanding of how and when to apply various project
management techniques.

CERTIFICATE PROGRAM
This course is part of the Project Management Certificate Program, offered through a unique partnership between George Mason University and Business Performance Group.
The Project Management Certificate Program provides you the opportunity to learn the basics of project management- how to plan, execute, control, and complete projects. In addition, our Project Management core courses prepare you to take the PMP® Certification Exam offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI). PMI is the world's leading organization certifying and representing 60,000 project management professionals worldwide.
After completing the Project Management core courses, you can take in-depth courses to further develop your project management skills. The advanced courses focus on key trends in managing projects and demands on the project managers. You will learn how to prepare project schedules; develop project measures and advanced approaches to project control; and how to develop, lead, and motivate project teams. If dealing with risk and complexity is part of your work environment, you will learn both standard and advanced techniques to aid you. After successfully completing the four core courses and one elective, you will earn a George Mason University Certificate of Completion.
