Motivating and Managing Successful Project Teams

Project success often depends on choosing, motivating, and leading the project team. This course, based on PMI®’s PMBOK® Guide, Sixth Edition, focuses on improving the project manager’s human resource expertise, from initial planning through project closure. Participants will apply all course principles to a work-related case study taken directly from their work environment. At course completion, students will be able to develop a human resource plan, acquire optimal team members, and develop and motivate team members to accomplish project goals.
