Background
Certified project managers are increasingly in demand by many companies. For numerous businesses, project management has become an absolute necessity to complete tasks effectively while maintaining control over deadlines and costs. The new ISO 22163 standard sets higher demands on project management, including quality management within projects. Therefore, we will deepen and expand your knowledge, particularly in the areas where projects often fail in practice—such as the absence of professional quality management.

In this seminar, you will learn the core principles of project management and how to apply them correctly, even in unforeseen situations. The course is also designed to improve teamwork and communication.

Target Audience
