Building a Project Management Culture: 4-Day Workshop

Everyone ends up doing projects at some point, but that doesn’t mean they do them well. Enter the Building a Project Management Culture course—it’s project management for the non-project manager, targeted to your specific organization. Often, there are large variances in software competencies within a team. Get everyone on the same page and learn how to use Microsoft Teams, Planner, Lists, To-Dos, and Office 365 as a whole to gain greater efficiency in managing projects and work.
