Project Management for Construction
July 21-22, 2021 | Online :: Central Time
Managing construction projects in the real world can be very different from what you learn in the book; it gives us a good background from which to start, but it cannot come close to predicting what can and ultimately will happen in the real world.
In the real world, projects fail—a lot. Throughout this course, we will discuss how and why projects fail—as well as risks and how to quantify and manage them—and conclude with building an understanding of how to deal with stakeholders on a construction project. Whether you’re planning your first venture or you’re a veteran project manager who is looking for new ideas for your execution, the goal of this course is to leave attendees feeling confident in their ability to create, monitor, and complete a construction project successfully.
Learning Outcomes
