PM340 - Managing Complexity

In this short course, we will examine more advanced business situations and learn techniques to deal with complexities faced in day-to-day management of projects. We will cover scope management, mitigating common project challenges, and how to prevent and deal with feeling overwhelmed or burnt out. We will analyze cases of real projects to explore why they succeed or fail, and we will discuss how to cut through red tape and proven techniques for moving forward when you feel stuck. While this course is not intended to fully prepare you to sit for the Project Management Professional certification, it will introduce many of the concepts that appear on that exam. More importantly, we hope you will be better prepared to lead or participate as a stakeholder in projects at your organization.
